I was messing with his food and he was patiently watching me. It's not that sharp, but I loved the "pose" and the way the background colors worked out. It's been a while, so I decided to bite the bullet and submit.

I like the pose and the composition. The noise in the background is distracting, and I'm sorry the focus isn't sharper on the bird. Still its a great capture.

The focus seems to be a bit off, and I can see some noise in the background, but I think it's a great capture and the composition is really nice. also, Sometimes it's better if your border is not too strong, talking by my own experience here.

Gosh, this must have been so frustrating to capture. You did a great job, just a couple of issues: needs more sharpening, and; could do with a light pass through some noise removal software.

Maybe the bird needs to be a bit sharper but I think it is great that you got him at all.
