Photographer’s Note
I went to the Philippine and caught this picture in the Manila Zoo with my newly bought canon 400d with tamron SP90mm Macro DI lens. All comments are welcome.

Hello Adam! Welcome to TE! You have a very lovely 1st post! The sharpness, clarity and colors are very well done! The blurred background also helps us focus more on your subject. You also have an excellent gear, congratulations!
I made a workshop for your photo, if you don't mind. I just made some basic adjustments in PS. Hope you like it. rgds.

Macro lens is an interesting lens, but i think it doesnt fit with these type of focus. besides, i think you really like to use a slow shutter speed at 1/60. i suggest you not to use auto focus. are you reading photography books? it seems like you are fond of using 400ISO(as i examine your photo info). there are times when its better for you to use 100ISO. it all depends on sittuation. the light at the back of your photo is a bit bright and distract the your main subject. i think ALFORD's version of PS CS2 adjustment is something you can learn of... anyway, i think you have lots of and wide opportunity to improve your photography skills... looking forward to see other outstanding photo you have for us in TE,
Regards,
Frisco

Terrific!!! Beautiful focus on the bird with beautiful bokeh in the background. The background is a little bit washed out but through experience using your new lens, you will be able to work on it.

Hello Adam,
Wonderful photo here. Perfectly shallow DOF and the eyes of the bird are razor sharp. Nice colors. Well captured. TFS
