Congratulations to the winners!
Very sharp for handheld at 600mm. Excellent composition with rule of thirds allowing the bird plenty of space to look into the picture. Bokeh allows the bird to really pop, showing its natural tones and color. Great shop overall.
Thanks.
I was surprised with the sharpness too. Back then I was not aware of noise removal or sharpen tools in post. But I feel sentimental about this edit so it stays like that :).
