Fantastic, Sandy. I like the subdued lighting. Nice of you to show us what that new camera can do. :wink:

So nice. Exceptional detail and very natural light. I love the perch you found your bird upon. That alone is the reason I do not have a good shot of one. I really like Black Phoebe's and the frustrating thing is with wire fencing all around our property they seem to like the height (5 feet) to watch for bugs and fly out grab and return right back where they were. I hope some day to get as great a shot as you accomplished here and with as good a perch. Great work, Sandy.

Interesting perch and nice work on the black and whites. For me, the low angle in relation to the bird makes the shot.Excellent work.

Very nice Phoebe shot, the pose, perch and background all look good. For some reason every time I see one of these Phoebe's I always want to take their picture.
