theme: little big jumbo shrimp
I was working in my garden and had my camera set up nearby. I made my move when i saw the molting goldfinch pop against the invasive oriental bittersweet vine. I was so surprised when in the viewfinder this gray catbird landed next to the finch without any disturbance. I was able to fire off a few shots...
Almost full frame, de-noised, and sharpened. The BG are evergreens.

Amazing capture for sure Ann. Love the contrast between the two.The lichens on the branch and berries really sets this off.Great Ha as well makes this real special. TFS
Don't know how many contests you have looked into but this is an entry of some kind...
Amazing contrast, both sharp enough, Perch is nice, Congrats to you!

Just stellar Ann. A beauty with two species including a shy (in our area at least) Catbird.
The dramatic bkg and color pop with the berries is so nice. Catching them both IF at f5.6 too, wow.
Well done!
Well done GF!
Two tack sharp birds and different species to boot!
Love the red berries against the dramatic dark BG.
Best part is the size difference between the 2 birds.

This is wonderful, Ann. Not only two species, but they are both checking you out. Love the perch, and the light is spectacular.

Pretty much perfect, Ann. That curious look puts a stellar canvas way over the top. TFS
Really nice frame here. Really shows the size difference between the two birds. The dark background is nice as well.
Wonderful image, Ann. I love everything, I cannot see anything to improve. Thank you for sharing.
P.S. I'm jealous.
