Sparrow - Critic please

I'm working on a few shots I did on birds atm.


Any critic is welcome. Did a bit of sharpening in CS - not sure if I did to much??? Let me know any thoughts.


Sigma 28-70 EX F2.8, F5.6 at 70mm. No flash

I think it's been over sharpened. Also I feel it's too close to the right edge and need some space around it.

I have to agree with AJ. It need space on the right for the bird to look into.

Very much over-sharpened and I have the feeling that the underlying image is not ultra-sharp to begin with.

Also, I agree it's a bit tight in the frame.

Thanks a lot - I'm working with the unsharp mask in CS and not sure I got the feeling right....

I might did it too tight...I see...thanks.

I agree too much sharpening ( keep practising )

I Slightly changed my method for this weeks competition....And I'm very pleased with the result. It looks better IMHO.
