I love the muted reddish orange background I get with the leaves that have fallen up the hillside in my backyard. One of the joys of fall.

Beautiful shot Michele. It's both sharp and soft, has a very unique feel to it. Great work.

The head is sharp and I like how the DOF caused the "softness" as it blurred out the BG. Love the fall colors as well.

Everything goes together very nicely. This is one bird where the female is also striking, especially in this shot.
