What a magnificent shot, Don! The clarity of this little fellow is amazing - I can practically see the 'hairs' on his feathers! [Delighted to know the S2/S3 can achieve this degree of close-up.]
Lovely azure-blue sky, which really enhances the bird. Excellent!!
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

WHAT IS MAN WITHOUT THE BEASTS? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected. ~Chief Seattle VISIT MY GALLERY
He really does have his eye on you Don. I really like the clarity of this and also the angle you shot this at. It makes me feel as though I'm standing underneath the tree looking up at it myself. I love that blue sky in the background. Looks like a perfect day to go along with a perfect photo. Thanks Don.
