John....sorry, I can
Really AWESOME shot Bill......
If you have space I would add a little to the top and crop a little off the bottom, also maybe get rid of the light spot just to the right of the bird
John, Very nice shot of the mockingbird. Did you achieve that wonderful bokeh via camera settings and distance or did you give it a little assistance in post?
Bob
Bill, another great shot of the RTH, love the lighting on this guy.
Steve, I

Her is one from the other day when I was experimenting with some new backgrounds. The back grounds (from the Walmart fabric department) are now garage rags, but I thought this was worth sharing since I finally got a flower in the pic.

Not near as nice as Bob's Humming Bird above, but here's a couple Purple Martins and some Geese:
