A nice image!

There is plenty sharp here. In fact I'd have backed out just a little bit on the usm thing ...

Looks like you have the sharpness right to me. This is such a cool bird. You did very well with this shot.

It looks just right on the USM! The bird stands out so beautifully from the background. It has a 3D effect. Well shot

The USM is perfect here, the f/4.5 plus the wonderful light makes this image a very nice one!! The 3D effect is very cool!! Congrats!!

Beautiful shot. I like how a toe on his left foot is bent upward. Indeed you have created a 3-D image.

The bird looks great, the BG is a little busy.

Fiz,

The slight front-side lighting has provided amazing depth to the bird. Definitely 3-D in appearance. The BG is a little busy but the bird is sweet!

Your sharpness looks great here maybe your sharpness issues have to do with tracking and moving subjects.

I have had little luck with making this species look so good.

Well Done!

BZ
