I think I got the focus a little better here.

10D, 500 f/4.5 at 7.1; 1/250, beanbag.

Thanks for looking and helping me get better!

A very nice shot but it needs more USM. Soft as presented.

Great shot again of these beautiful birds. I took this into PS and if you apply 1 shot of 100/.3/0 USM, and then another 100/.2/0 selectively on the head it sharpens up beautifully.

The extra USM did the trick. This is a gorgeous image.

Thanks Chris.

I've had trouble getting the males while I have several decent female shots. Very nice!

Nice shot you got, Bill and Chris' repost did the trick with the sharpening. Good exposure, background, and comp. What's not to like about a beautiful red bird.

Just a touch more sharpening will help making this one pops ...
Chris's re-post does the trick!

Bill,

This is excellent. The bird, the perch, and the background are all wonderful.

The colors and composition on this are very nice, i was going to mention needing a little more USM, but I see Chris has reposted it sharpened up a little. Looks great.

Thanks,
