Hi Lloyd,

It's good to see you posting here. I'm a friend of Kevin K. and Scott E. I almost came to photograph with you last October. Anyway, very nice image you have here. I like the lighting and warm colors of the bird and berries against the dark bg. My only nits are that it's just a bit tight in the frame and I wish I could see more of the birds tail.

Big welcome Lloyd,

Lovely action and colors.

Wish for more room at the bottom to see the bird's tail.

Keep them coming!

Hello Lloyd
Nice to see you here. I was immediately interested in the bird eating the berry and his tongue, I hardly noticed the tail until pointed out. I like the richness of colors also.

It never ceases to amaze me how big of objects can be that birds can get down their throats! Lovely image, wish for more DOF for the tail and more room for the tail.
