    D2Xs, 400MM, ISO 250, f6.3 @ 1/800.

    A selected perch placed next to a feeder with the BG in mind gave me this image that has never been posted before.

    Absolutely perfect, Alan! Beautiful complimentary colors of the bird, perch, and bg. Great pose and excellent composition, and it's cute how the bird has one foot on each branch of the perch. You even spelled the name right...I always have to look it up!

    What can I say....other than the expected "I hate you". Each and every image that you post is a fine work of art........each detail well thought out. The colors, BG, pose are superb. I suppose that one could nit about the use of a perch that was broken at the top...but it does have a weathered look.

    Very nicely done.
    Question:

    When you selected the perch, did you count on the "Y" at the end resulting in a spread-legged stance?

    Hey Jim, No, I wasn't thinking about that, but the lichens and moss balls. That was an added nugget along with the raised creast.

    A usual very high standard "Murphy" image. The only nit I can see is my eye is drawn to the bright patch of Lichen. If it were mine, I would tone it down. But it is a truly outstanding image as presented, Alan. :)
