Originally posted by graphicfunk: This is a very nice shot because the bird gives you this wonderful palette of colors. You did fine because you did focus on the eyes and these you got real sharp. However, the shot can be better accomplished if the dof or in your case the aperture priority is employed. I belive the 935 is very limited to obtain a large span. But a shot like this is taken with the minimum aperture. In this manner the feathers will also be in focus. Always notate the aperture in which a picture is taken because you will get a feeling for the variation in focus. Then when you get a better camera you will have a working knowledge of what certain apertures do. Otherwise, the image is wonderful and is a worthy addition to your port. It is good enough for my favs. Good luck.

Once again thatnk you so much for your wonderful critique of my work and the time you take to help teach.
