Sometimes it must feel as though every moment of your life so far has led inexorably to this one, just so you could catch this perfect shot.

It may be JABS, but it's a very nice bird on a stick. The processing is quite good.

Are you using a better beamer or something like that? Or is this available light? (Looking at the nice catchlight in the eye.)

Let me tell you what I like, and I think it's all there deliberately: I like how the bird has room to look into, how the stick is about one third from the right, how the darker area top left balances the bird at right, the catchlight, the focus, the processing which looks a little more relaxed, the iridescent glow of the feathers, the scruffy look from a bird well into the summer season. Lots more than JABS.

Well well Harvey, you outdid yourself on this one - I love to read the settings when Photographers are kind enough to put them in and I am amazed at how crisp the sigma is - mind you I have never held one so I don't know it's size but you nailed the important parts - the supper - I love how the wings are positioned - Victorious! Such a tiny bird and so much to look at well done indeed!
