Nice, Jim. Great composition and a killer bg with a perfect pose for the composition. A beautiful image.

An awesome image! My only question was how severe was the crop? Just wondering.

I love this Jim, that's a perfect pose with really sharp detail. The background is flawless. Great work!

Lovely detail, pose and perch. A little tight for my taste.

Nicely composed, and great techs. The etail in the pretty little lady is quite good. I agre with Phil that it is just a tad tight for my taste, but that's a minor nit. Very nice.

Thanks for the comments. Phil and Jim, I considered this might be a bit tight, but after weighing this one and a bit less tight, I felt this was better. John, I am not sure how to measure the severity of the crop, but when blown up to the size I posted, Photoshop said it was 66.7%. I have included the original image, raw converted to jpeg. It's a fairly severe crop in my opinion. This is the reason I got this camera (barely used, $900 less than new), because of the incredible resolution and cropping ability. I will never be able to afford a 500 or 600mm lens, so this will suffice, for a lot less money.
