    Cute pose and great detail. Too bad about the branch going up his rear

    Arthur, yes it is, I should have stated as such.
    I thought the post maybe too frivolous for this site, but as a bird lover of all birds,
    I like it.
    Taken in my backyard on a piece of real low budget garden art.
    I was actually just trying out my new 1.4 TC, when the bird flew in.
    It was nice to shoot at f5.

    I love the little guy and his nice tight grip. Not crazy about the rusty man made perch or the green intersecting branch though. Maybe if you detached the branch from the bird?

    I'm not crazy about the perch either, but have to admit this could be marketable to gardening/backyard birding type magazines. The bright leaf touching the bird could be toned down to minimize its' impact, same for the purplish OOF spot behind the far wing.
