latest posting, the bill is three times the aperture of the feeder and the mandible to chin transition doesn't work.

The more severe photo concerns where the mandible ends at the chin. It also looks like a different bird altogether.

Matt:
One of the experienced photographers has to explain to me how the feeding hole on the feeder is clear, how both flowers are not distorted, and the bill looks like a crayon. If someone says bird shake, how is it that the eye doesn't look like an oval.

Good points, Matt. Crossed my mind also.

Edit: there are too many parts of the bird that are relatively clear such as the collar, chest pattern, and the post ocular spot.

There are plenty of times I type out a huge rant in a forum, but then decide against it. I was able to get whatever out of my system, even if no one else was able to address it. :)

I think I know the post you're referring to. If I remember correctly, that's an aberrant plumage for that bird, so you'd have to expect it to look a bit odd. Also, the photo is really too low res to look at forensically. I'd say you were wise to withdraw the question.

Here is the picture. The black to yellow transition of the neck feathers just doesn't look right. I have looked at other shots of this bird and either the feathers are black or not black. It almost looks like it has been painted. Don't want to offend anyone and may have a very plausible explanation. Kind of a negative tone to this question thus the reason for erasing it the first time.

I rarely use an image straight from the camera.There's always something that could use a little cleanup.

I was picking on a picture posted in the ID forum and decided that it was a bit aggressive and really served no purpose. I felt that a picture was photoshopped. Thanks for asking.
