Kinglet calisthenics

Very interesting pose Emil. It looks a bit soft on the head, but I imagine it was moving fairly quickly.

I really like the idea you had, but I agree it's a bit too tight in the frame. Love the pose, though. A touch more USM might help the head.

Very cool. Nice you got his yellow on top. Well you did the blur thing, and thats probably what I would have done, but It looks like you could use more separation between the subject and the backround. maybe you could get the bird and his jungle gym a little sharper. Have you tried photokit sharpener by pixel genious? Kim and I are both using it now and we're finding that we are having to go back on our pictures and resharpen them because of the better results we get. Maybe do a little darkening on the backround and lightening on the birds white, that should help make him pop a little more. This is so unusual when I opened it up I thought it was turned sideways. You might also do a mask and kick up the saturation of the foreground vegetation also. This is a great shot. :)

Not the best light but you did your best ...
You captured an unusal pose too, emil! :roll:

What a unique and interesting shot!

Very unique capture Emil. I too would like a little more room but still an awesome image.

Love this guys pose. Very nice. Do wish he was placed higher in the frame.

Nice catch of this pose. Not an easy thing to get.

Great job getting the crow in this one. Wish for some more room all around.
