Hi Justin,

Good to see you are out with the new toy !!

I love the colours, perch and composition. But, to me looks like the PoF is on the wing

So the eye looks a little soft, but the image also looks to have a crunchy look, so looks like a bit to much USM has been used.

Regards

Rob

Focus is definately on the eye Rob. It looks really poor at this size but on the original the eye and beak are tack sharp.

Very nice Justin.
Bg is nice and smooth and the colour compliments the bird well. Great detail.

Nice image Justin, nice colours and nice BG. Bird looks a little rough though, must of been on a bender the night before

I like the complimentary earth-brown bg, works really well with the bird.
