Wonderful moment but image quality destroyed by over cropping/zooming/jpg compression.

Outstanding bird behavior presentation. Some electronic noise on the lower breast which distracts somewhat. Not enough field marks for me to id the bird, but I note the Assassin beetle. Overall, very nice effort. 7

Yum, another bug-eater! Beautiful Catbird; IMO image might benefit from some noise reduction, or a conversion to B&W (personal thing; I don't seem to mind noise as much in B&W images).

Good capture, both you and the bird! I can see an incredible amount of noise in the shadow areas - present as red & green dots. Maybe some NeatImage or Topaz Denoise might be in order?

Lighting on the upper beak is especially nice.
