Caught this Black-Capped Chickadee in a good mood. He allowed me to take a few shots of him which like it or not I intend to bore you with. I'll space them out over time ... How's That?

These little guys are a favorite of mine. They are entertaining acrobats, very curious and with a little patience over time will actually eat from ones hand. I have had that pleasure several times.

Excellent. How did you get him to turn his head for you? He's daring you to take his picture. Beautiful capture of the bird. The background colors work well with the birdie. Nice work.

This is great, John! I find these little guys to be so flighty and they don't sit still long, so I'm quite impressed you got one as good as this. I gotta say though, in this one I think the negative space would work better for you on the left instead of the right.

What a precious li'l guy and perfect exposure. Great little catch-light in his eye and so nice of him to turn his head to pose for you. What did you pay him for that? LOL Beautiful shot John. anne :-)

Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)
