Nice shot of the bird. I try to do a lot of wildlife photography so can appreciate the difficulty of the photo. I would recommend a .jpg artifact removal program such as Neat Image. It's legal and would have helped the visual quality of this photo. From a wildlife lover, Kandyj

Stunning. Do you have a lot of shots of birds?? I need some as reference for my artwork, and I've never been able to get a beautiful shot like this.

Nice closeup of a great bird. I would have liked a little less light..Cub

Comment by PTLParsons:
The bird is beautiful, but just a little out of focus on his head and at his feet. The background need either to be OUT of focus or in focus, right behind his back. Better focus would have made it a 10, but as it is, it's a 7. PTL

INITIAL RESPONSE: WAOW. Really appealing .. blue .. Really greta picture

COMPOSITION-CONTENT - Good composition and content ... nothing to say .. the vignetting looks aproriate to me or do not bother me .. it make us looking trought the lens with you ...

BACKGROUND-None. Nothing specific .. vignetting is part of the backgroud (see above)

CAMERA WORK-TECHNICAL- Some noise. I have never really seen amateur astronoical picture .. but the noise seems to be very well handled in that case and give some 'atmosphere' to the shot

DIGITAL PROCESSING - TECHNICAL - See above .. I do not really know what to expect for such a shot.

MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO - A great great shot .. I would lilke to have done that one .; I am been wondering recently what scope should I get (no too expensive) to do something like that. It looks like a 20x does it. Anyway .. I like the picture really a lot . .congratulations
