Beautiful, Sandy. Lovely bird and a great perch. Detail and exposure in the Bluebird are perfect.

Sandy, Very nice low light image. Slightly more DOF would put this over the top, but very nice as is. Dave

great setting and colors, Sandy. IMO, the detail is actually somewhat lacking in the larger version--is this a big crop?

Your larger image is showing a bit soft to me. Also, in this case with the direction of the perch, it would be nice to have it all in focus. Wonderful bird, great pose and look, and I like the lichens on the perch. Sharon
