A very nice little bright spot in your pool! Looks just a tad over sharpened to me, but a beautiful little bird! Sharon

Thanks Sharon.
More or less as out of the camera but may have had the sharpening bar in the middle which strangely on the d7000 is one above default ! (I think !- still learning !)

A really cute shot, really detailed and a gorgeous setting; but I don't want to know about Christmas!!

Beautiful bright orange bird. Nice pose and catchlight and I really like the water drops on the feathers.

John...tht must be some little pool you created! Wish I had a space for something like that! I don't think the bird looks over sharpened on my monitor anyway. I love the colors and like your setting of the little pool you created. Looks like it could use just a touch of NR on the BG....can mostly see some noise on the left BG.

Thanks all.

You don't need a lot of space . This pool is at most three feet across !!
Chers
