Thanks Brad problem 😁

Thanks Brad no problem 😁

Good improvement over the prior post Paula.

If you could add the settings & camera/lens info when you post, it would help to get a more meaningful critique in the future

Nice, Paula.  The detail in the plumage is much better than in your first post, though I think the second (with the tripod) was even better.  There's a hint of a "smearing" look that usually comes from noise reduction in post processing, though I think I've seen it also from in-camera processing when using one of the programmed modes.  Are you storing your in-camera images in a RAW format or as JPEGs?  You can lose significant amounts of digital information if using the latter.  Since this bird appears to be pretty cooperative, you might try a bit higher f-stop to get some more dof and get the entire perch in nice sharp focus.

Thanks for tips its so early in the morning I do struggle with light issues. I store than as jpegs😀😀
