Tried out a portrait with my new lens. Comments especially welcome.

thanks.

I'm amazed by this - beautifully done!

ESTUPENDO RETRATO , UN SALUDO

Hey, Barry, sweet photograph. Wonderful tones and clarity is superb. Well done.

Lovely color on the head, sharp and crisp, dof spot on, and I love the composition, it takes a mental step to realize the bird BELONGS in this orientation, which is terrific. Only complaint is that the eye seems a little dull, but this may be a problem of the weather, judging by the gray background. 6/6

Hello Barry,

You've done such a greta job of capturing this pecker in such detail. I had the chance of photographing him a few times but before I could press the shutter, he changes location on me!

Regards.
