I like your photograph. Without getting too technical I like the sharpness, composition, blurred background (bokeh) and the colors. If I could ask for one thing it would be just a hair sharper but sometimes we are limited by the lens, distance, lighting etc. as to the sharpness. Well done.

I think it is an excellent picture CM.
I love that creamy smooth background! Beautiful color contrast and focus contrast between subject & background. Well done!

Nice picture but slightly over exposed. Looks like it was taken outside in daylight, I din't think you needed such a high iso.

Nice picture!
It is definitely not over exposed! But the subject is not bright enough either, in comparison to the total tone range. Look at the histogram in an editor, and with a curves tool apply a slight s-curve to it. Move the dark areas slightly down and the brighter areas slightly up. You can shift the tonal range around to get added "pop".
The only problem I see with composition is the entire bird is to centered. More empty space on the right would be nice.
It is
impossible to judge sharpness of the posted image. You've posted a 1200x790 resampled version of an image that originally was 6016x4016 pixels. That is an extremely effective low pass filter that removes all high frequency spatial detail. If the original were either half as sharp as it is, or twice as sharp, we wouldn't be able to tell which was which when the image is resampled that drastically.
Beautiful shot!
Your uncluttered, soft background really adds to the enjoyment.
I see you were moved from Photo Analysis to Gallery. Maybe you meant to place the image in critique forum, not analysis?
Analysis has some pretty specific rules:
http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-19061-1.htmlWhen posting in the Photo Analysis section, you must:
- Ask a specific question about fixing something particular you don't like about your photo. (Help with retaking the shot or with post-production techniques.)
or
- Post a "mini-tutorial" describing a technique you used to achieve something specific in the photo. (Teach others about framing, lighting, post-processing, etc.)

I think its a great shot. REJ
Knowing how quickly they move around, and the fact you were using a telephoto lens I can understand the reason you used a high ISO.
I am impressed with your first posting.
Without being too critical... I like it!
