A little bird in my backyard. (Any hints what kind?) Anyway, I cropped, dodged a little around the eye, then did the quick fix on photoshop (I'm tired and PS is frustrating me :-)and I cloned out a stray piece of something from his beak.

Well, I hope you like him.

chick-a-dee-dee-dee-dee...

very nicely done; well composed and exposed. i think i might have increased the tonal range on hi a tiny bit, he's ever so slightly flat.

Very nice shot of a Black Capped Chickadee. :) great out of focus background. Nice sharpness. I know it can be difficult to get catchlights in those beady little eyes.

Lovely capture and crop - just seems to be a tiny bit soft to me. Have you tried a little USM ?
