This bloke hangs around the lunch tables at our flying field looking for a free feed.

Looks like he has "attitude". I just wonder whether these are a tad oversharpened, a bit of a halo efffect evident.
We have a few magpies who come up on our back verandah. They have come to an arrangement with our pet dogs about "sharing" the dog food.

And the WB seems to be off as well. AWB ?

Nice shots. The nits I have are:
* the eyes don't seem sharp. Were you using AF and if so, was the focus point on the eyes?
* Some of the highlights are blown

In which case, I suspect that it's off. Sunlight WB, shot in open shade, perhaps?

i thought of something else when I read the thread title " local thief"



oh, and the grass looks a little blown out. maybe cool the WB a tad and see what happens ?

I have trouble with fine focus points as the focus point in the viewfinder encompasses the whole head of the bird, yes auto sharpen and wb was sunlight but bird is in light shadow - good advise - still learning.

John,

If you shot in raw, you should be able to correct this fairly easily.
