Just happened to see this Downy hopping around in a tree and figured she was headed towards the feeder. I was right on that, and sorta wrong on the settings. Should have had it a stop or two slower(or have the sun behind me for that matter, just didn't have a chance.) CC welcome. Thanks for looking.

PP to adjust exposure and WB and remove feeder.

Nice capture but needs a landing target for the picture to make sense, perhaps a suitable branch from somewhere.

That's still a great shot. They are fast.

I think it's an amazing capture. Might consider a crop that shows the feeder as a landing spot. It wouldn't hurt the image, IMO.

Agree with that it needs something to account for the pose, but it's a great shot.

Thank you everyone, I wasn't sure if it needed anything or not. I'll play around with it tonight and see what I can do.

I kind of like it the way it is but if your going to add a target make it a branch or somethng besides the feeder.
