I am still learning how to navigate here but I am kicking myself for not saving the 6 stars for your beautiful bird pics because they really deserve it. I am so in awe of your bird shots as they are my very favorite subjects to try and capture. Great focus, subject, contrast! I didn't realize how the star system works and all the sudden I was able to give 6. I will save them for my favorite artist/photographer next month as they are truly deserving! Breathtaking are the fine feathers captured in detail, the pattern on the feathers ~ the tiny hairs around its beak are just incredible!!! thanks for sharing!

Very nice clear photo. Exposure is right on Focus is excellent and the colors blend well . I like your SDOF looks like a shadow. Creative.
Thanks Lou

This is a beauty, wonderful portrait and perfect title for it. Seems as if you have tried to get something else and the bird peeked into your camera:) And than you have captured the bird perfectly, I just love the most beautiful fluffy details in the feathers, one couldn't resist touching it. Thanks so much for sharing this beauty.

First so sorry all I have left is 5's, cyber 10 for sure. Willie all I can say is yet another of your images has me floored! This is out standing, it is truly beautiful. I really hope you are promoting your works to get them on the covers of nature/bird magazines, that is where they all belong. You are so talented and your shots don't just capture the animal they capture the spirit as well. This one is lovely colors lighting focus all are perfect. The amount of detail on this one is phenomenal! Thank you so much for sharing you talent, I have enjoyed again.

Well captured Willie.
Your timing is perfect. The light is amazing and it looks like a fill in flash from afar is highlighting the eye. the open mouth of the bird adds interest as it calls out. fantastic shot.

    Thank you so very much! You passed me again! I had to get more big guns! LOL! This is also for the contest in my camera club next meeting. Topic "something blue" I am allowed two pictures to enter. I am going to try to get another one good enough to enter. Thanks again!
