A pleasing scene. You should have used the entire 720 pixels allowed in at least one direction, however.

Also, your file size of only 47k indicates a highly compressed image and that may be robbing a lot of additional detail and sharpness from this image. Check your compression settings when you save your file. Always adjust JPEG compression so that your file size is as large as possible, but within the challenge limit. (200k for this one)

I agree with the others. Very nice shot with wonderful PP. Definitely a winner! :)

Compositionally strong - I think the diagonal works very well, along with the dof.

Try shooting this at f/5.6 or f/8 Sometimes the sharpest images are not at the largest or smallest apertures, but somewhere in-between.

Nice capture!! I wonder if this bird nests in those rocks? Have fun with that lens!

This is really sharp! Great details in the scales and eye. The f/2.8 really gives this a nice background.

Nice shot .

Good PoV and focus looks just right.

Handsome little chap :- )

If you want to try something different with this is PP you could consider either a n 'Acid' treatment, or maybe toning it ?

Nice job of PP to reduce sat for this item. The muted colors bring out the detail in the skin and eyes, and that is also helped by the shallow DOF from the 2.8.

Great capture! He's so camoflauged there, I probably would have missed him!
