Backyard Downy

[Michael Gerald-Yamasaki]

Greetings. An uncommon visitor to our backyard feeder. Removed an intersecting twig and another bg one (I now see I missed the one at the bottom).


D4 300f/2.8 + TC20EIII (600mm) 1/1000 f/5.6 ISO2000 50% crop

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,

good HA, great IQ and I like the dark BG. I wish the tail was not blocked by that big OOF branch which is a bit distracting. I would clone out the other oof branch in the lower right too

Congrats on getting this lovely WP. I take them for granted as we have several in our backyard.
I like the dark tones and the green BG.
The WP gave you a great pose.
I have to agree with Arash re: the large intersecting branch,
Gail

Arash, Gail,

Thanks much for your comments. Yeah, the branch... sigh.

Cheers,

Super details in those feathers and fun pose. Wish there weren't so many distractions. It would have been a killer against that green BG with less branches.
