HANDHELD

The perch and the eye contact is nice. Some more sharpness would have been good. Any special post processing done? Thanks for sharing.

Its a crop and reduced some noise from BG......nothing else

[Bhargava Srivari]

Beautiful looking bird. The shutter speed is reasonably high, but still the image isn't sharp. Where is the focus point? Is it a large crop? Also, you could have used the full 300mm of the lens since this is a crop.
