In #1, you can see that the skin is stretching under the feathers, because the back white feathers are skewing to the left.

Thanks for the comments on my downy thread!
Yours look great.
Love the moss on the first one, and I see what you mean by the difference in coat.
What were your shooting conditions?
Looks like you did a lot with very little light.

Peace

Rex those are very well done shots. Great exposure, and you sure made him look around!

Great shots. Looks like he's watching something very closely. Another bigger bird such as a hawk, maybe?

Thank you, everybody for replying.
Eduardo, It was heavy overcast with tall trees all around at 9:30 am. I thought I'd try giving them a stop of light in DPP. Is this better?
Good one, Lugnut.
Betty, he was waiting his turn at the suet. There was a flicker and hairy wp ahead of him.
