All are great. I love Mr. Grumpy's expression in the last one. Is he saying "where is that woman-or is that the female. I don't know much about birds.

I like your selection of images, however, I hope you don't mind my asking a question about what post adjustments you may have made. In particular I'm referring to numbers 4,5, and 7. On my monitor it appears that there was a lot of sharpening applied so that the long, thin feathers around the neck and breast appears to be overly sharp. Also, I wonder about the area of the neck, as in #4, where the neck area appears to be lacking in feather detail so that it looks like retouching may have caused a blurring of detail in those areas. I see the same things to some extent in the other two images as well. Since the images have been reduced to 72ppi, it is perhaps more difficult to see fine detail. For my tastes, I have had to be careful not to overdo sharpening that I have a tendency to apply in an effort to emphasize crispness or focus. I don't mind being told that I'm wrong, but I would appreciate knowing what adjustments you may have made. Thanks...

No worries. FYI. These were shot jpg.
As a general rule I always sharpen at the eyes. I never sharpen more than 15%. I consider any image that I have to sharpen more than that as out of focus to begin with and usually never process past that.
None of these images had any post processing work that altered the image or had retouching. the sharpness of the feathers and the smoothness in number four are all as natural as the image came out of camera. I did store the originals so you can see the exif data without any problems. I hope that helps.
