The large image shows just how sharp this is also some great detail.

Very nice image. The environment really helps make this image. You noted "Crop to Horizontal". I assume you meant crop from horizontal. I'd be interested in seeing a bit more room on the right side of the image.

Oops - yes I meant "crop to vertical from horizontal," Keith. (Seriously, Barny-the-kitten wouldn't let me type or think straight.) I did have more room on the right, and I debated about this crop quite a bit. The bird is facing towards the right side of the frame of course, but sort of looking over his shoulder... so I went with the corner-to-corner perch crop thinking it was a bit better than putting the bird on the left.

Very nice shot, Rebecka. Quite a mouthful there, too. BG complements the bird very well.
