So I took photographer in high school (35mm B&W) and learned a few things like how to line up a shot, but most of the class was developing B&W film so skill, I have little.

Got this guy outside a Barns and Noble, he just posed and because I take my camera everywhere I got this shot... Be easy (Photo cropped with Nikon NX2)

I might crop a little less aggressively - since the tail is almost up against the edge of the frame - but that's just personal preference.

Nicely done. Good exposure, good focus.
The cropping is OK.
Needs a little sharpening, but that may be that you just forgot to resharpen after resizing.
Maybe boost the contrast just a little?

I think it could be improved with some better post processing.

Post up the original and let's see what there is to work with.

There's not a lot to work with there, especially in a jpg.

Blown highlights, focus is slightly off, subject is way too far away to be useful when cropping.


I took a whack at it anyway.

It was truly a why not moment photo. I was at Barns and Noble set my coffee in my car as he flew up. Had my camera and figured I why not see what I could do with the opportunity.

This is a better shot of the same bird taken a lot closer..
