This little song bird was captured by my camera a few weeks back...again at Nature Preserve. He does look sort of proud sitting on his perch.

Simply beautiful, Gerry. Great crisp clarity in this. Nicely composed with the bird on the right and the diagonal branches. Nice use of dof too.

Now Gerry it was you that did the capturing, not the camera! ;) The operator is the key person here - am I not right? say 'Yes'! :) and you did a brilliant job again here - beautiful bird and wonderfully sharp photograph! You are quite the expert at capturing these birds closeup. Patti

He looks puffed up with pride at being photographed by an excellent bird photographer and rightly so. I hope he gave you a song, you deserve it.
Great picture

Pretty little finch, precisely focused, unobtrusive background ... I'd say you nailed this one perfectly Gerry ... Love that "King of the Hill" pose you captured. Brilliant photography.

A C-index of 97? Whew baby. I think that is an all time record. I have never seen a score that high. Congradulations. Beautiful bird.

I am in total awe. Your photo is easily one of the most original and solid body
of work I have had the pleasure of seeing recently. The bird stands out great against the dark background. I wonder what was the aperture you have chosen?

I can't believe all these beautiful bird pictures of such lovely creatures I would not otherwise get to view up so close without a pair of binoculars. This one is exceptional.
