While testing out the Canon 5D Mark IV this little guy was kind enough to pose for me. Its a really young specimen too. Im printing them with Adorama, metal prints. More than the bird what I like most is how nice the colors were produced. With this camera I find myself turning the contrast and the saturation a lot when I go into PP. The sensor is a real improvement over previous generation and its a low light monster as my 6D is.

I think this is lovely. The focus on the bird and the twig he's on is almost perfect. I really like the OOF twigs and things around him. He's placed in the optimum location within the frame. The colours are very nice and the density seems to be perfect. And he posed for you beautifully.

Thanks. I was lucky he was willing to pose like that. It was about the only thing I got that day. What you mean about density?

That the lights are light enough and the darks are dark enough. Overall, it's neither too light nor too dark.

Yes it is. Gorgeous detail, the right light on the subject, but I'd remove the OOF branch.

I would remove the green splodge in the upper right corner. It pulls my eyes away from the bird.
