    Hi all. Caught this cutie the other day. I'm really interested in camouflage, and I love the way this bird blends in. Thanks in advance for your comments!

    Canon 50D ISO 400 1/1250 sec f/7.1
    EF70-200mm f/2.8L + 1.4x TE @ 280mm
    Converted from 15MP RAW in DPP then PS work

    Hi Kerry - love th eyellow patches on the bird - looks like he has rubbed against the branches and got it all over himself(not the case of course)
    Nice HA and eye contact.
    I think I would try to crop out the vertical branch RHS - Looks a tad soft to me.

    Looking forward to seeing more.

    Hi Kerry

    Sure like the bird and pose Also a real nice bg !! The perch is a bit overpowering Would try coning out some of it and tighten the image just a little more. For these little guys is the luck of the draw as far as perches. Quality is not bad at all with the crop, might look into a 400 5.6 !!! Sweet lens !!

    Kerry - nice image: nice position of the bird, smooth bg, sharp. The yellow of the bird echoed in the perch is a marvelous bonus. Well done.
    The perch seems like a distraction. I agree with getting rid of all the branches except the main one. I wish that big stub of a branch wasn't there. Oh well.
    Very nice

    Hi:

    Nice shot of the Yellow Rump.

    Does this make any sense?

    Hi Kerry:

    Here's another one I tried with yellow lichen all the way up the branch.
