I guess these guys are here to stay... I actually had two couples in my yard today and one was feeding the other... I couldn't get a good shot of them together as of yet...

C&C always welcome... Thanks for taking a peep..

Looks a bit over processed to me.

Norman,

Care to post the original? Do you shoot in jpeg or RAW? What software do you use to process your images? The exposure looks good (+.67EC was a smart move) but it looks soft and wondering if/how much this is cropped?

Nice one. I have a few pairs of these here too. I'm waiting to see who shows up with a strange baby this spring. :)

Hi Duane, for this one I shot both RAW and Jpeg... And the crop was alot... I did noticed after I posted it, that it a bit over processed... I'll see if I can fix it... I use Photoshop ... All I did to it was a high pass filter...

Ok, I did make a change and should be a bit better...
