I think it is the Orange Tailed Swallow JimboB. It sure looks good on that deer's antlers. Did I mention my eyes were failing?
Good focus for having a blurred background. If it ain't Bokeh, don't fix it.
Jimbob - You got yourself one good photo here. I like the subtle colors in the photo, with the bird's coloring being seen in the blurred (dof) background to each side. With the one leaf as exception, the near b/w tones add to the impact of the image. LIghting does the same. Composing the photo with the bird being the focus, yet a small part of the image keeps the size of the bird in proper perspective. Great work here! Thad
Well I knew this cutie was no plane plus I love all those twisty twigs surrounding him and that one orange leaf really sets off this excellent photo JB!
Maybe my eyesight is not as good as it once was but I think you got one great shot of this squirrel Jimbob. He must be pretty light to be able to work his way onto the small branches.
I don't like to disagree but I think it is a type of goldfinch - I see many kinds in the tree around our 3rd floor condo - the hint of yellow gives it away - well done on the comp and shot.
From the disproportionate size of it's head, it looks like an "Eastern Phoebe". Was it fluttering around a lot and then landing back at around the same place? Unlike most birds, they catch flying insects on the wing, instead of feeding on the ground.
Good focus for having a blurred background. If it ain't Bokeh, don't fix it.
