Great anyway.

How did you tempt the bird into the shot?

Thanks, I picked up the old SLR at a yard sale with the intent of using it as a prop for this sort of image. The bellows was mine left over from my first SLR a screwmount Pentax Spotmatic that I sold many years ago to help finance a Canon AE1. Anyway I took a hammer to the front lens element to make room for some sunflower seeds, placed it in my table top studio and waited for the action to begin:) .

Oh wow, I'm very impressed with the first shot. It looks great and I can't believe you managed to get the bird to sit still!
