Hi Howard. What a nice capture. I wonder if you have applied sharpening or up scaling the image. It's a bit too crispy to me. As a bird photographer, I am particularly concern about how to maintain softness and fluffiness of the bird feathers and fur during post process. In this article. Linda Murdock explains about over sharpening in bird photography.
