Technically it's great - if you wanted to show field markings around the head, it couldn't be better - but it's a field guide detail, not a hang-on-the-wall shot. I'd say it's a shot for the after-workshop bs session. "And I was able to get THIS close before he flew off..." Or it's the punch line to a bad joke about a spring that was so cold the robins froze their butts off.... -- R.
