Thanks for posting the shooting parameters, Paula. It looks like you were really short on light for this one given the relatively high iso and very slow shutter speed. Detail looks pretty good for such a slow shutter speed (were you using a tripod?). When the light is that low a tripod and remote shutter release are really helpful. It looks like there's a lot of contrast in this image and with that dark bg the whites ended up a little overexposed. I like the interesting green bg and the spider web under the bill is just super cool.

This is a pretty good image. Colors are pretty vibrant. Maybe a touch over saturated? Details are a bit lacking in the plumage of the bird. From the specs I see it is a Sony bridge camera, don't know which one. Getting really good detail is probably going to be a real challenge.
