As a bird photographer Amin "You have arrived!".....,,,only thing wrong is your choice of aperture!....you have lost some detail in the feathers using such a narrow Dof!....5.6 OR 6.7 would have made all the difference,but thats just practice!....next time shoot the same shot at different apertures and see what you think,it is after all just a turn of the wheel!...........all the best........Ken

Ken
Thanks very much for your advice . That is a real boost hearing a vote of confidence from someone who has such a respectful portfolio.
I will keep a closer eye on the aperture from now on and try to improve the shots. I was constantly concentrating on the iso and the shutter speed and specially the high iso which was getting to me and ruining my shots. But thanks to Stefan's advice who pointed me to the Topaz Denoise I seem to be able to control noise during post processing, so I will give it a go as you mention ken and hope to get a better focusing overall .
Thanks for your advice, looking forward to apply it now

"De-Noise!".......thats the reason for the definition loss on the body!....I thought it was just out of focus!....silly me!....I never use new fangled gadgetry.. I'm just old fashioned!.......Ken

You have got a sharp eye Ken, I must give that one to you .
You are absolutely right, again , I struggled between leaving the high noise on this image and losing the bit of definition on the body, but my oh my, your sharp eye picked on that huh? . Good one ken. One more reason I keep bugging you and the likes of you for help on improvement, I get a fast track to good learning from you all
