This was taken a few weeks ago. Currently, I have not seen much variety other than Song Sparrows, Chestnut Back Chickadees and Black Capped Chickadees. Not a lot of color around here.

Iso 1600, 200-500 at 500 mm, F8, 1000th, D 500, -0.7 EV, fill flash at -1, tripod, DxO photo lab, Adobe camera raw 10.3, Topaz adjust, TK sharpening action at 20%. It was overcast that morning.

Excellent composition and detail, David. Catching two of them together is quite an accomplishment. I like hte lighting on the moss.

Superb, David! The lighting, the detail and the good focus on both. Not only is this "image quality good", but it is technically good as well. No nits, and congrats on a job well done.

Excellent shot, David! These tiny little guys are extremely difficult to catch, let alone two at once. Love the rich colors, the placement of the birds and the great detail, especially in the large version.

Excellent detail in both of the chickadees. They're well positioned in the composition. Looks like good lighting and the background complements the moss and the birds well.

I really like that you got both chickadees sharp and the interaction between them. I also like both the background and the perch.

Wonderful timing, David, to capture both of these little guys that don't wait to see if you got the shot! Perfect in every way.
