If you have any advice, I am always open to it, but I was just thrilled that this Blue Grosbeak has started visiting our feeder today. I have never seen one before, so had to even look up to see what species it is. i Realize it isn’t an award winning image, just thrilled with something this beautiful, and different to our yard! ### What artistic feedback would you like if any? Any. ### Any pertinent technical details: Through the window, handheld, Canon 7D Mark II, Canon 100-400mm lens, at f5.6, 1/1000, ISO 160. ###### If you would like your image to be eligible for a feature on the NPN Instagram (@NaturePhotoNet), add the tag ‘ig’ and leave your Instagram username below. ##### **_You may only download this image to demonstrate post-processing techniques._** ---

Nice head turn and excellent detail in the Grosbeak, Shirley. I love the wood grain in the feeder. My only nit is the shadow on the bird, but that’s hard to control unless you have a rotatable hanger for the feeder.
