Not up to your standards

On Photobucket choose the IMG link and copy and paste that although I see they give you a hyperlink now(a link back to photobucket). Or you can choose the Direct link and add [img] at the beginning of the link and [/img] at the end of the link and you should have no compression problems.

I took a look at your Photobucket and you have some shots of this guy with some nice back lighting that I actually prefer to the one you chose. This one for example:

Standards?????? I don't have any. If I see something I like, I shoot it, and sometimes share it. Others may not have the same likes as me, but that is what makes us individuals.

As for the pic itself, it was def a decent shot with the lighting source coming from above and directly at you, and shading everything visible.

Sorry! I was not paying attention. :( I do enjoy looking at bird photos though so please do not be afraid to post lots!

I'd say for anybody it's pretty good. It's compressed here which is causing it to lose some sharpness, however, it looks like a very good shot otherwise. Nice work!

Nice shot! I would definitely be happy with that!
