    I always love it when you get something interesting of the more 'mundane' subjects. Great behavioural action here Jon, nice work.

    Nice work here -- great BG and cool behavior. DOF looks good for the bird, not sure how much more of the nest material you wouldve been able to get with f/11. TFS and mustve been fun to watch

    Hi Jon, great behavioural capture here, and love how the Sparrow is tugging away at the 'fluff'. I like your smooth BG, and comp wise, I would have liked to have seen a little more space below so that the perch is not coming out right at the LLC.

    Hi Jon, neat image. Good color and detail, very interesting behavior. As I look at the image I try to figure what the white material is that the bird is pulling on. Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks for the comments everyone.
    The green is the back lawn, the white fluffy stuff is sheep's wool.
    I deliberately cropped as this but I think you have a good point Stu.
    ALex, F11 would have offered marginal increase in DOF.
