iso 100

no flash
could have gone for bit smaller aperture to get tail in focus
Also, folks keep asking me for bigger images-not sure how to do this-I am altering pixel dimensions to make file <300Kb, using following protocol...
Click Image – image Size
Make longest pixel size about 700 to 800
Make sure “bicubic for sharper” is selected at bottom
File-Save for Web and Devices

This yellowthroat looks pretty good in this small image. I'd like to see a little more light on the face to bring out more texture and detail in the black mask area, and I'd prefer a bit more room on the left side and a little less on the right to give the composition better balance.
I agree with Rich in that a little more room to the left of the frame would help this image a lot. It would make the bird seem to be looking into the frame.
I also agree that it needs a bit more light in the eyes to make things pop.
