This guy landed, took one look at my lens sticking out of my blind, heard the shutter and was gone! I've been trying to get him for a few weeks! Not perfect, but it's a start! This is from my backyard, and I put oranges out.

50D, 500mm w/1.4 ISO 400, 1/80th, F7.1 LARGER version is provided for your look. Thanks for any comment/critique...I learn from them all! Sharon

Excellent sharpness and feather detail and a beautiful bg. Very nicely done, Sharon!

Two words... Grape Jelly.

Not too bad for a quick one that almost got away.

Sweet Sharon,
Very nice look at this Guy and at such a slow shutter speed. I like the pose, perch and BG also.
Good luck on more encounters . . .

This is where being prepared captures a stunning shot. Love the color, the composition and the tack sharp image. Keep up the good work.
