Simple Grey Catbird.

Went out looking for warblers but instead I got my best shot of this guy to date. What you think?

Thanx for looking.

Great capture, love the pose and bokeh.

Wow, nice pose on the catbird. The OOF background works quite nicely and reall brings all the attention to this little guy. Great detail in the feathers also. All in all, a very nice capture. Nice!

Well focused, good timing, and beautiful bokeh. Well done Tom.

Totally agree with you Tom. Excellent capture. Love the chest-out-back-in pose. The bird knew when a camera was pointing at him/her.:D

That's a keeper!

Now that's a proud looking Catbird! Excellent shot with a nice clean and clutter-free BG. (did you touch-up the BG a bit, as there seems to be some greenish blots overlapping either end of the perch...)

Excellent shot with beautiful bokeh. Well done. :-)

Love the pose and the light and detail in the bird. The branch far left and immediate right is a little distracting as if it is smudged...fix that and its near perfect.

Thanx for looking guys. There is nothing much I can do with that branch as this is almost full frame shot and the branch just came out that way... maybe there were leafs closer to the lense and thats why its sort of smudged. Also the background could be smoother but again leafs were everywhere heheeh.

Very nice :)

They may not be frilly or colorfull,. but they are certainly photogenic :)

Excellent shot Tom!

Looks very proud for whatever it is. Wish we all could be that way.
