William said:Ann, you gave some good and well thought out critique there .

I'd imagine having having no skin would make everything feel more painful, but I could be wrong about that I do like my own skin very much and wouldn't want to be without it

I think shooting through a window has reduced the image sharpness a bit so that could be what you are seeing.

I really like that you have plenty of space in front of the bird. My only suggestion would be for a lower shooting angel. You will create more intimate images that way as you will make the viewer feel more connected to the subject. Ideally if the bird is on the ground, then you should be on the ground. Otherwise a nice image!!!

Thank you William. I don't know why it never occurred to me to get down on a level with the bird but it makes perfect sense. I will have to do some stalking.
I often shoot through that window as I am stuck in the kitchen so much. I will have to accept the times I am forced to shoot through the window but with this new camera I do plan on doing some stalking as the zoom on it will allow me to be further away so as not to frighten them off. But I will crawl on my belly like a reptile.
