Gene, lovely image of this handsome Thrasher. Overall, the technicals are great, but you might consider reducing the brightness of the yellow flowers just a little. :) The lighting, perch, detail, and background are all excellent. Great image!!!

Mike, The eye on the Thrasher is so bright with so much contrast, that getting perfect focus is easy.  Also, they don't move very fast, so that also helps.
