Very pretty Painted Bunting. I like the back pose to see the colors. In the small version and the larger version, bird looks like it is over sharpened. Don't know how much you applied.

I agree with Keith on all points. I urge a redo on post processing and a repost. This shot has great potential.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have attempted to fix the problem. Hope it's better.

Gorgeous bird and very nice perch. I do agree with Keith and Jim. This is just my observation of course, but in looking at the bird and perch it looks to me as though you might have focused high.

Beautiful bird, Scott. Your focus and dof look good to me. I really like the pose with the half turned head. I see the oversharpening issue mentioned by others. To my eye, the repost looks just slightly soft. Perhaps something in between?

I prefer the re-post. Feels much more natural to me.

Stunning bird beautifully captured. I like the over the shoulder pose.
