She's a bit of a showoff, don't you think?

Hey, I appreciate the kind words! Every now and then I get lucky and the hooey gods let me catch a break...

Another excellent shot, great colours, pose and b/g.

Great shot with beautiful BG. Sharp with good details.

You're getting pretty darn good at this....

Good posture - great pic!

Excelent shot. What lens did you use for this?

I use an XT with a 400mm on a tripod. I've tied some branches to the back railing of our deck to use as perches above the seed, and the birds usually land on the bare limbs before moving down to the rail. My open kitchen window is about twelve feet from the pre-planned perches, which explains why these shots are cropped so close. Most of them are almost full frame out of camera.

Thanks for looking,

Bob

Bob, terrific shot. Frame it and put it on the wall.
