Thank you. The trickiest part is achieving a decently sharp focus. The water droplet has to be the right size and it has to be approached (focusing) from the right angle. The composition of the bird is simply a matter of the positioning the background in relation to the water droplet. Here's one more, this time with a bit more extended depth of field to bring out a threatening background.

I should unlike this just so I can like it again, good Lord! This guy is over here playing 3d chess while I'm eating checkers. How is this even possible?

What you should have said is "The trickiest part is, uh, EVERYTHING!"

Amazing shot.....TWICE!

They always bind together anywhere in Sg, I can not approach close and get a decent clean background.

To think another way....there's always another way.

Strikingly beautiful, Bill! I always wonder how a such a vibrant colored bird as this scarlet tanager can survive in the wild. Surely they must be easy to spot by predators.

It really is amazing, sogs. It's got to be a pretty big hole to allow the adult bird, and it's young to live in there comfortably and safely.

one from last years Tasmanian Native Hens hatch that live around our house.
Yesterday I went and sat on the grass where they were eating and they immediately raced up to see what was going on.
They are like that being very curious birds but equally flighty.
These being used to me hung about for ages all the time grazing and looking at me
