Really great interaction Sandy! Love the perch you used. Blacks look really nice and those red feathers really pop against that green BG. Nice work!

Wow! What a shot. I like everything about it. Wall hanger.

Very cool, Sandy. The feeder birds do get into a lot of squabbles. Nice poses from the two birds and a beautiful perch.

5

Nice opportunity – interesting interaction, perch and BG – but the red channel is blown out. Depending on what was captured, of course, it is usually possible to have bright, saturated-looking reds without losing detail. That’s a high ISO but you have a good sensor.

6

The contrasting red and greens really draw you in. Very nice composition. Interesting perch, good interactive behavior, and pleasing background. Beautiful.

7

another excellent job handling tough colors Sandy. The reds pop without being blown out. Nice interaction between the birds, really nice mossy perch, and complimentary BG.
