A few of the usual suspects during the snowfall yesterday afternoon, with a bit of fill flash to make up for the poor light.
I also tried some bright vignetting, and played with Mogrify for the watermark.
C&C welcome, thanks for looking.

1. Mourning Dove

2. Male Cardinal

3. Dark Eye Junco

5. Just for fun: two Juncos trying to intimidate each other at the sunflower feeder in front of two onlooking Titmice.

6. Speaking of Titmice, the only angle I could shoot some of the prissy miss's

Nice shots...I like the vignetting around the Junco...adds real nice contrast...cuts into the tails a little on the dove and cardinal but looks good!

Very nice series! Number 2 is my favorite, though 5 and 6 are very good too.

Thank you. Yes, I guess that watermark is not best adapted to that kind of pic (the dove).

Thank you. The BG of the Cardinal was a bit busy, so I blurred it - but I feel it looks a little obvious now.

Very nice set. For some reason I like the feeder pic

Thanks DB; I also think these two came out nicely.

Thanks Wallace; I missed the brief moment when the Juncos were spreading their wings and stamping their feet. I also like that the Titmice look amazed by what's going on before them

Good stuff. Love the last one...it's often the end I get to see of Titmice, too.

Straightening...lol. Every time I straighten the horizon, I hang the picture crooked.

Thank you Chopper - We have not been at that place for long, they are still pretty skittish.
