20D, 100-400@360, 1/125@f8, 580EX + BB -2/3, iso 400. Removed some branches with the healing brush and blurred the BG somewhat. Cropped to vertical.

Hi Paul
Nice to see it sharp from back to front all too often when taken at this angle you don't get the whole bird in focus. One minor nit the flash has caused extra highlight in the eye which looks a little odd - easily cloaned out!
As David said, very nice to have full focus on the lot... good job with the blacks and I like the composition. Maybe a bit too much on the op, but it's all subjective.
Yep, clone out the second catchlight (always needed when flash is used) I'm not keen on the look of the bg, probably because it is obvious the PP work has been done on it, I'm afraid I'm firmly in the as shot crowd with this sort of thing.
