I don't usually like to see man made stuff in wildlife images, but I really like your second shot. It works ... nice job!

The sparrow looks like a child at a gumball machine trying to decide which one they hope they get.

I almost thought so, the EOS 20D seems to be a real good camera.

And with a 200mm lens, so you had to be very close to the bird I guess.

Sorry :(
Didn't mean much by it - probably shouldn't have even brought it up. I meant the bird feeder, and I know it was unavoidable under the circumstances. I meant it as a compliment, but it didn't come out right.

In general, I prefer wildlife shots that don't include fences, wires, feeders, etc. Sometimes it's unavoidable to get the shot. I intend to build a "super feeder" like Scottes and Jerry Z have put together ... with natural tree branches attached that the birds will perch on - allowing shots that appear to be in a natural setting.

I just meant that despite the inclusion of a feeder, I still really like the shot.

Clear as mud now, right?

Like Jay, I prefer wildlife shots without the "hand of man" being obvious. I struggle for it, and will just about always pass up a shot that contains anything man-made. It's my preference, that's all - I'm certainly not saying what is right or wrong.

In any case, by any preference, this is a beautiful shot. Well done.

Sure, sure. You've been saying this for months now.

 :o Yeah, I know ... there's been a mix of health issues and plain 'ole procrastination. :rolleyes: Haven't been taking many photos lately either. I've purchased some of the necessary equipment and hope to put something together soon. Thanks for the encouragement ;)
