These little guys have been hanging out around my house for about two or three weeks now. They sure are nice to look at. Hope you aren’t getting too tired of them. This is another one shot into a bush but this time I used Keith’s method to isolate the background and mellow it out a bit.
Is this a composite: No
Iso 6400, 300 mm, F5 .6, 1000th, handheld, D 850, 50% of full frame
I’m not getting tired of them. Just wish you’d send one down this way. A very nice image with a fine pose and excellent image quality. Looks like you’re exercising all your cameras this winter.
Not tired of them, but I’m sure getting jealous! 
Love the pose, setting and detail on the bird. The BG treatment worked very well. I don’t know what it would have been but I suspect isolating and blurring?
Can’t imagine getting tired of the beautiful colorful little birds, David. Background is spot on, perfect. Nicely done.
Lucky you David and hopefully they stick around for the rest of the winter. I like this bg as it seems to add a very nice compliment to the little bird. Nice and sharp on the eye.
What a beautiful little bird, David. I wish he would come visit me here in NC. Great capture of him.
