Joel,

You must have a relaxing life with so many beautiful birds surrounding you. I am on work monitor and can't see saturation well - but looks like the reds are spot on. Love it, you know my style by now,. just a little tight,. but that's me

[jack williamson]

Very very good Joel. The reds and clarity are just right.

Thanks for the kind words, I have a small set of woods behind my house (about 4 acres) that is populated with a nice diverse group of birds and I have been feeding them for several years so they are comfortable in the yard. Only started taking their pictures about 4 years ago.

Joel, you show good exposure technique and the birds seem very comfortable. Nice job and you have developed a nice style in four years.
