Another from my recent visit with snow day Bluebirds. The snow came and burried the bugs and the Bluebirds started eating the Juniper Berries, this was just interesting timing. :) If you have a neat title for the image, lets hear it.

Nikon D300 ~ Nikkor 300mm F/2.8 ~ Nikon 1.4x TC
ISO 400 ~ F/7.1 ~ 1/800 sec ~ = 1/3 EV ~ fill flash ~ Gitzo tripod
Note that the female is looking in the direction of the spread wing
and it is a nice diagonal. I like it a lot.

This is a winner in my books! Amazing well composed image! Lovely interaction, BG, snow drops add so much and lovely exposure with super colours! Cant fault this! Well done!
Nice comparision between male and female, and nice to have them both on the same perch. Although the iris is showing in both (reworked?) I would have loved to have seen a catchlight in them too. I'm wishing for a bit more room above, but all in all a great and fun image :-)
Outstanding image Mike. Bluebirds have always been my favorite and to capture the male and female in such a beautiful setting and such wonderful interaction makes this a winner for sure. Love it. Big congratulations !!!!
Mike, Love the image and the fact that you have them both male and female in focus on the same perch is amazing. I can't even get one!
Now you're just showing off. Love this image, Mike, to have both m and f in one frame on a nice perch, with snow, interacting, a treat, and wing action, doesn't get much better. What a fine series you created!
Stop that !!! A great catch Mike, M&F, berry and the wing... too good !

Perfectly composed and the lighting is very soft and kind. Well done mate. I am getting a little green.
Stunning! Great poses, light, moment, mood, detail, BG, ambient, perch, colors, all A+ Congratulations!
I told you "Due South", (so I can get all the berries underneath your feet):)
Mike I love this image. The interaction between the two birds, the perch and the blowing snowflakes all come together to present a story.
What an amazing image, it is really priceless, it makes you feel good :)
"The best berries are THAT way!" Love this series of bluebird images, Mike. A special moment captured and the snow adds to the mood.
Wonderful image the snow, pose and interaction all make this special Mike, congrats.
Nice addition to a pretty sweet series Mike. Pose reminds me of Saturday Night Fever.
Hi Daniel, no re-work or any eye work done. :)Quote:
