I removed my other posting of this one, and did a little more adj. taking some good advice. I toned down the background color, and this has been cropped heavily, and run through a noise filter.

Sorry for the removal of this first one, and thank you to those who had already commented.

Here we go again, notice the 1/2 :).

I hope you enjoy it, and thank in advance for commenting.

Sandi-
This is much better. I would still tone down the yellow flower near the little bird because my eye still goes right there and misses the little bird. And tone down (or vignette) the entire yellow bottom under the brown ledge.

Nice shot of the two birds together Sandi. The clarity is very good - the background cannot be helped with the sun shining bright there.

I did miss the litle bird initially but I don't think the flower distracted me - he blends in with the color of the feeder. Very nice work on complicated a shot.

The 5 and 1/2 made me laugh after I tried to open the first one :D I missed the first one but I like the cropping here and they look very sweet :) Nicely done...

I think I would have left the other bird out and just concentrated the post work on the lady cardinal. She is nicely posed and you would have had less of the feeder to have to work with. Still a lovely shot of her in her wary way.

I have to disagree with the above. I love the bird on the left but the one in the bird bath adds to the shot as well. Great lighting.

She's a beauty and so is your capture and work Sandi! I just can't understand how you can crop and keep such sharp details. I need your secret for doing my fractals...hehe

---and run through a noise filter---

Sandi, not a problem to me when the birds are so noisy, as Caedes doesn't provide any sound, LOL!!

Very post of these tiny critters.

Regards, Cornelius.

Nice capture. I have to agree with Cindy (Cynlee) about the bird on the left and crop. Nice color palette, as well.

The cardinal doesn't look happy about the intruder to his feeder. Very nice shot, Sandi. Excellent colors and focus.

A Cardinal & a Sparrow dining together. The Cardinal is not too sure about this arrangement though. Love the backlighting. Excellent work, Sandi.

Two lady birdies having a tensional luncheon...I love it! You did very well on the background, and overall, it's a very lovely and nicely captured shot! Well done :)
