Nicely done. The first is my favorite as it shows the breast feathers and the OOF background leads you right to this pretty downy. The branch behind the 2nd shot in the birds back takes a little away from it. Nice work Troy!

Great shots of the downy, Troy. I think I can safely say that these are one of the best downy shots I've ever seen! :shock: Congratulations on such a marvelous capture. :)

Outstanding! You were right about the light - you nailed the exposure perfectly. I'm still trying to get a good shot of these guys.

Great shots. You were able to get pretty close, and at near eye-level too.
Details and your angle on this woodpecker are nicely done... Envious!

Thanks for sharing these.

Looking at my cinema display Mac screen, these shots really stand out. I love all the shots.

Everything about them is very nice. The colors, lighting, angles. All of it. They really pop! There were a couple of them hanging out by my house until the weather turned nice. Now I haven't seen hide nor feather of them.
