Nice close up. excellent focus. The out of focus backround really helps to frame this beautiful bird.

Excellent. What else can I say? Focus is right on, and I can almost feel the feathers. I will admit to being a bit jealous because I could never get that close with the lense I have. 10

Nice and crisp, Im not sure I'm particularly thrilled about the crop - it makes him look a little too puffy, perhaps getting closer around the head would work better. 7.

Comment by Skip:
strange indeed. i am always curious when i see shots like this, as to why i don't take more risk. i mean, really, to take a perfectly innocent piece of fruit and to run it through with 15-20 nails, then to shoot a macro with a blurry background. keeping in mind that bokeh contributes and enhances, i'm not sure it that's happening here, but i don't think it really matters.

Very interesting and creative capture. Only complaint is that there is some CA on the nail that points toward the camera.
