The beak and eye are really sharp and thats where my eye is going. The back of the bird is less sharp.
Pleasant background. I may have opted for f5.6 or f8 if it was mine (minor nit).

Sharp and in focus where it counts. Very nice indeed.

Great detail Robert and a good BKGR. Very sharp on the eye.
I guess there was not a lot of light looking at your specs, so maybe a smaller aperture can be used on a brighter day to extend the DOF.

Cheers

Minor nit covered; cracking detail.
Any red kites likely at this new hide Robert? :biggrin:

Cheers.

Hello Robert.

Great pose captured but really like the amount of detail you have captured here in just the right place.
