    Hello everyone. I took a couple of shots of this little guy a couple of weeks ago. It was fairly cloudy and this guy is very friendly. He/she let me get pretty close.

    Lovely shot, Robert. Great look, and detail. I don't have a problem with the BG. I tried one of these guys a week or so ago, and couldn't get a clean shot, with a lot of blurry clutter around the bottom of the bird. This tight head-and-shoulders view solves that problem. Nicely done.

    Looks very nice.
    Nice choice with the F8, The BG doesn't bother me.
