I love shooting these little birds...they are wonderful to watch! I waited...and waited...and waited for the take off...and then just took my eye off for a moment to wipe my glasses...and it took off!!! :bg3:

Murphy's law at work!!!

I love the image. Great bird, perch, BG, pose, techs. You only needed to point your lens down more, or in post crop more above. Very nice.

Thanks a lot Daniel! Yeah I do realize now that it probably has a little too much space :t3

Love that pose, I agree a crop off the top would improve presentation.
