Billy - Jeep Daddy's avatar is a photo of his fractured femur with a couple pins in it. I asked how he got it.

This is the correct answer to getting more detail in the feathers.

I agree with your comments. I have the 7D and a 70-200 L lens and it is a great lens; very sharp. Not familiar with the 55-250 but no doubt the 70-200 is a better lens. I agree bracketing the shots and perhaps increase the f stop to say f8 or f10 if possible for greater depth of field and decrease exposure a bit for more detail but in my opinion the photo is quite good. No expert on wildlife photography but I heard focusing on the eyes will generally give you a sharp image.

This is cropped from a photo shot with a Canon 7D, 55-250 lens, shutter 1/500, aperture 5.6, focal length 250. How could I have gotten more detail on the feathers and sharper focus on the whole head? I also have a 70-200 f/2.8 and a 24-105. Would either of these lenses be better? This bird was pretty close and I have lots of opportunities to get it better. Would appreciate suggestions.

Most problems with white bird plumage are caused by overexposure but that is not the case here; the exposure is basically OK.
Unfortunately, there are areas on the bird with very little variation in tone, too little to allow adequate separation using Curves, although I have done my best.
Images of this type are often more successful with subdued directional illumination rather than bright sunlight.
Incidentally, have you been 'playing around' with the eye?

No, I haven't been playing around with the eye. Why do you ask?

It just looked as if you might have been.

Oh. A couple hoggers did do some adjustments to try to bring out feather detail. That may be what you are seeing. I know very little about post-processing. It's interesting to me how you picked that up. I'll never get to that level. Thanks for your interest. Nat

Don't despair. Unless you think it's possible to produce miracles by just pushing a few buttons and are prepared to put in a bit of effort, it is possible to progress quite quickly. The key to efficient learning is to understand what you are doing and why you are doing it.
I am willing to help if you wish.
