 Shot with Panasonic FZ30 in the Sports mode. Sports mode gives faster shutter speed and shallower DOF.

PP: crop, noiseware, minimal dodge & burn, slight exposure adjustment (offset & gamma), contrast on bird and foreground (soft light curves layer at 50%), resize, sharpen slightly, save for web.

Beautiful composition and great colours. It's just a shame the bird looked away.

Ditto others plus the detail of the feet around branch (or hoop?) give it an extra few stars.

OOo! You got this one just right! Even a nice blur to the background! Wonderful!

beautiful & beautifully done--this looks like Florida light. Enthusiastically agree w/what's already been said (better) by others.

splendid shot - those are some crazy cool talons on that bird

the smoothness of the background and the crisp details on the feather set this one apart from most of the shots i have seen so far...

Good choice using the sports mode, it did allow for great DOF. Love the detail on the bird!

Wow, Julie! This is a very nice shot for a P&S shot in a flag pond. I am impressed with the POV, and the overall composition. The detail in the bird is good too. Nice shooting. You are fortunate to have time and a good location to go bird hunting nearby.

That's a really nice photograph, the colours of the bird, the dof, sharpness of the bird and branch are all fantastic. As for noise, I certainly don't notice any

yeah this is really nice. I don't really see the problem with the noise. The greens are a great background.
