I agree the composition is good. The mistake I made was cropping a small portion of an image and then trying to sharpen it to an acceptable degree. (I need a longer lens, since 135mm just doesn't cut it.) Shu
I like the spreading wing and the pattern of the overlapping feathers! However the image seems to suffer from firstly, being a crop of a much larger image and secondly, being over-sharpened (halos surrounding the bird). --Olaf
