That lens worked very well, Albert! The image is beautiful with excellent detail and color and a wonderful soft bg.

Great capture of this little guy. The background colors mimic the bird. Well done.

Beautiful capture of this Chickadee, Albert, one of my favorite birds. Terrific light, subject detail, pose, and bg. I like this as is, but I might try cropping a bit off the right, cloning out the remaining stem behind the bird, and then comparing the results.

Hi Albert,

Very nice capture with your 150 macro. The details of the bird are wonderful and the only improvement that I can see is to crop a little more off the right and clone out the stray branch. Large view is a must see

Really nice light on this Chickadee Albert. I also like the perch and the techs are great. I might be tempted to clone out the branch coming in from the right side though.

Sweet catch in sweet light, Albert! The detail is outstanding. I think I would be tempted to clone out the white fleck on the birds bill, but that is mighty small nit-picking. Just about perfect!
