Hi Bev,
Wow! This is great! I always happen to be in the wrong place for these sort of shots, your one looks excellent. Very good focus, not to mention the excellent sharpness and details. A fine presentation too, would make a great calendar photo. Well done.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Beverly,
Wonderful capture of this beautiful fluffy visitor. Very nice colors, perfect sharpness.
I know the feeling! I have to place a feeder in my yard because I have all sorts of varieties visiting but it's practically impossible to photograph them...their so quick at detecting our presence!

I get them all the time too, but yet to capture a decent image.

This is spot on, sharp, well exposed and the crop is just right.

Long may you enjoy their company.

Hello Bev
great shot of this little chap(es?). The details are nice and sharp and very well seperated from the bg. Good natural looking colours, and well presented too.

Good Morning, Beverley!

Another great shot of yours! This time a Goldfinch and that too in a nice mood and pretty position. The sharpness is simply great with nice POV and great DOF. The colors of the bird are just adorable. I simply love them. Great composition!

Have a nice weekend!

thanks and regards,

Fantastic Bev! Great sharpness and detail in this goldfinch. Nice use of shallow DOF ... focus seems to be on the birds breast area and up. Great timing on your part to catch him with his head turned .. we can even see the seed in his mouth, and a great little catchlight in his eye.
Great job Bev
Have a nice weekend

Hi Beverley. A wonderful close up of this very attractive small bird. The angle of its head, the seed in the mouth and the glint in its eye make it about as good as it get. The DOF effect makes all stand out well. TFS. Murray.
PS I hope you have this printed for your wall.

Good morning Bev,

A most colorful goldfinch, looks like the beauty posed for you, the insect on its beak is most engaging to see. Your tech settings appear optimum. Well done and best regards...

A great capture - cute, in its way, but also striking in the way you've caught the eye - and thos etalens. They really have that lizard/dinosaur look and are a potent reminder of the evolution of birds from their dinosaur ancestors.
Beautiful exposure and DOF control.

Hi Bev,

You must have the patience of Job, good luck or a combination of both. Nothing to fault here. All is perfect. Shallow dof & sharpness are both stunning. Tfs!

bonjour Beverley
nice capture, beautiful these colours
We have little birds here but not with a red-white-black head like this
The blurred bg fits well and the dof too though the tail is slightly out of focus.
kind regards
