Fantastique composition Jean Michel. Eye at 2/3 and diagonal line of the body make it very dynamic. Very good sharpness, BG and color. Joyeuses fêtes!

Stunning post jean. Excellent in all departments. Very well done

Beautiful capture of this red-breasted critter ;-)) Good sharpness, nice catchlight in the eye and for the rest I'll go with what Rene said - including wishing you a very Merry Christmas.

Nice sharp image, but to me there is too much noise and jpeg artifacts in the image, just a personal thing, but I'm surprised as you say you used Neat Image.

Great color, DOF and sharpness. I agree about the noise and artifacts. Tried a workshop with NI, but could not significantly improve the results. Thanks for sharing.
