Actually he was just out by the feeders and the lilac bush!
This has been really cropped ( and that might have affected some of the quality) too get rid of some ground covering that I did not want in the image. We have been putting old corn cobs out for the critters too eat, and for some reason I could not remove it properly in Photoshop. I have found it very hard to get shots of the junco's (their coloring and detail) I think I might have finally managed it in this one.
I did use the canon ef 70-300 IS USM lens at a focal length of 300.
Thank you in advance for your comments and any helpful advice.

I think you did get the coloring and detail of the Junco you were looking for. The black bands remind me of the boards of a wood fence and I am peering through the slacks and seeing the bird.

Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I could, I would give you an award. But alas, I cannot. So the highest praise I can award you with, is faving your artwork.
I'm a movie junkie, so the junco reminds me of a letterbox-Cinemascope movie. I like it Tigz, but I think you did lose a smidge of detail with the crop. Still a good post.

Very hard to make a good image in these difficult conditions Sandi as the natural background prevents a good contrast with the subject. Think however you've achieved the best possible result!

Well done on this upload Sandi b/w is difficult to photograph well the more bold the shades the worse it is, this Junco looks fine to me. (o:

Look after the wildlife folks
Ofcourse I think it would be more nice with less framing.. but I would do the same! You have to post with this quality (more than enough) your little friend. Now we are enjoying this lovely one too! Good solution for me Tigger : ) Mich

I like this Tigger. A good shot of this little guy. The cropping works well enough here,the clarity and color is still great! Good catch on this bird! :)Ami

I like what you did with this. The long frame to include the shadow and the bright green font. A very attractive image, Sandi.

It isn´t easy to get a clear and detailed shot of a bird and especially not if the colors do not differ much from the background. I think you did a great job on this one my frind!

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
The whole presentation of this work of art is gorgeous, Sandi. The picture is super all the way around, and I love the framing.

Yes I agree with the croping. A fine job my friend. I love the cute birdie. Lyn.

Although he's overburdened by the black bands above and below and lost to about a third of the right hand side of the image.
A little more cropping (left of the tail and right of your text) and half of the black bands would really bring out the subject more.
