New neighbor

How funny is this – I took a few bird pictures! Our next-door neighbor has installed a bird feeder, which I was trying to capture, but the light was just wrong for it, so I had to settle mainly for portraits instead. The image is greatly cropped.

Sahraa and the balloon booties, posted earlier.

Nikon D810 ,Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR AF
1/1000s f/8.0 at 380.0mm iso500 full exif

The detail is still very good in spite of the cropping. It looks like not much more than a baby!! Well done.

Nice crop and a very nice profile pose .
Excellent sharpness sharp enough to cut you.
Nice catch light on the eye not always easy to get.
