Bird on a Rope
Just shot this today at the Holden Arboretum in Kirtland, OH.
At one pond, they have some rope going from tree to tree.
From that rope, there's roughly 6 feeders hanging, each filled
with different feed.
I "think" this is a Wren?

Doug,
Very nice image and composition, love the soft pastel colors of your subject and the soft background...:D

Do you really think this is a wren? It's a beautiful male Purple Finch. Love the colors and sharpness. The wire is small enough not to overwhelm the bird. The BG is very complimentary as well. Nice job!!
I have no clue what it is :)Originally Posted by Lana Hays
I always have to tell people, I photograph them...I don't id them :)
Unless its a robin, those I know.
Got lucky with the background since the feeders were in the woods.
The funny thing is, they have benches, but they face east, directly into the
sun. So I ended up shooting from the ground, filled with all of these thorns.
I'm still pulling thorns out of my...well....you know.

Very nice. Love the background.
Nice image of this Purple Finch.
Sweet shot Doug.
Nice looking image, pleasing background w/o overly bright spots. The lights a bit harsh but handled well. Some fill-flash might have helped to lower the contrast by filling the shadows.
Thanks Robert. Returned to the scene of the crime today with my flash. Dialed in
some fill at -3 and the images look alot better. Of course, the finch never came
back.

Nice job Doug, I like the detail and the soft pastel color is sweet.
