Bob this little guy is so adorable. You have captured him perfectly. Excellent colors. Perfectly focused and presented. Great details. You have even managed to capture his adorable expression. Although you state there was some difficulty in obtaining your perfect shot it is not evident in your image. It is beautiful!

    Hi Monica .. The 5:1 ratio was in effect - for every 5 takes I liked one. He hung out on the perch for sometime so I just kept shooting.

    Thank you so much for a wonderful review and excellent rating ... Bob
Comment from Way West


A wonderfully well done photo Bob! This little bird is showing excellent definition and nicely captured details. I like how you have compensated for the light by bringing out vibrant rich tones and effective shadowing. He is nicely located within the frame and the half circle perch sets a good balance.
Greatly talented, thanks for sharing!

    Hi Jodi .. When they are this cooperative it is hard to miss. He stayed on this perch for some time so had a good opportunity to get it right.

    Thank you for the fine review and excellent rating .. Bob
Comment from FBI GUY


The tripod did you proud. The focus is razor sharp and the lighting is also outstanding. The shallow DOF isolated the bluebird perfectly. The darker greenish background helps pop the lovely colors and structure of the little star.

    He must have been really tired for he hung around on this perch for a good hour or so, then refreshed he flew off. Thank you for taking the time to review this capture and I appreciate the generous rating ... Bob

That's a nice close up of the little bluebird. Very well focused as you can see every little feather, and the colours are very well captured, well done.

Bob, I am beyond jealous. I rarely get to see these, maybe 10 of them my entire life. You have given us all a wonderful close up view of just how gorgeous of a bird they are. Framed perfectly and colors are stunning. Wonderful image. Thank you for sharing your scout with us!

    I am hoping that the flock will decide to stay. If they do then the Indigo Buntings will also hang around. I'd love to get a few good takes of that elusive bird.

    Thanks for the review and your fine rating .. Bob

Hi Bob!
That's a great looking picture in my non-expert opinion,my friend!
I've never seen a live Blue Bird and I'm enjoying this nicely-presented photo of this colorful 'scout' a whole lot! : D

What a gorgeous little bird which is posing perfectly for you to achieve this wonderful closeup image. The focus is sharp on the eye of bird and the composition is good. The dof and colors also great.
