Now, I'm reading your critique and I'm happy I did actually give you the first two points, I can't remember it though.
As the critique is written before I read the note; I do like your anniversary Toucanet image:-) Wish you many many photographing years ahead!
One of my favorite photographers is Riefenstahl and she actually said when she was almost 90: "...still have a lot to learn!".;-)

This capture of the Toucanet is really splendid. I like your POV, light and colours are wonderful and sharpness spot on. I like the composition too and it stands out so nicely against the light background.
Many thanks and best wishes, Ulla

You mark the occasion nicely with this excellent capture of a Saffron Toucanet, sharply captured in a fine pose with excellent colours and lighting against an OOF sky and tree BG.
Well done, I hope you stay with us for a long time to come!

Congratulations on your one year anniversary. That seems to be an awfully good lens. I notice several TN'ers use it. The sharpness and details are great. I like the simple composition and the colorful bird against the neutral background.

Happy Shooting in 2008
