I like the way the seeds are just gently flowing off the plant as the house finch feeds.

    Nice captures for sure, Stephen. thumb.gif The first one really captures the bird in its environment - very nice.

    Two excellent images stephen. thumb.gif Have you tried a closer crop on the first? I think if it could hold up to a crop the first would have more impact w/o the lower vegetation.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Two very nice images Stephen. I liked Harry's idea as well.

    Great colors in the photo and bokeh on the background. thumb.gif
