My backyard feeder and planting project of the last several years is beginning to yield dividends.

Beautiful background Mike, perhaps just a little tight in the frame.

Mike:

Sharp, good full back pose, love the spiderweb on head. Agree with Gen about it being a bit tight. The background is nice, although I wish the wing tip wasn't lost quite so much in the darker patch in RUC.

Look forward to more. Be sure to try sprinkling in a bit of flash as you work on your tech. Looks good here without, but can be helpful.

Cheers

Mike, I echo the comments above - am enjoying the image very much - impressive sharpness :)

[Eric Diller]

Awesome Hummer shot...focus is spot on!!

[pat lillich]

really beautiful - and so clear!

[Katie Rupp]

This is lovely and without Randy's critique I might have missed the spiderweb...must have been nest building. Very nicely done!

Mike, Details look great-especially HH w/o flash. Nice job.
