I'm trying to get away from shooting everything at my feeder. I wish this was something more exotic but ya shoot what ya got.

I had my sb600 on & used it since it was back lit. To be honest I'm still trying to learn where to put my setting for different shots. c/c are welcome.

    I don't mind seeing photos of Sparrows at all this one has a nice sharp eye. Compositionally less steep angle would improve this. Since you have birds coming into your feeders you might try setting up a branch near the feeder that has a nice background and wait for the birds to come to you - if you don't mind the recommendation.

    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!"

    I also agree with Steve.

    The SB600 did a good job here.

    Thanks for sharing.
