    Good set. I like the titmouse for the eye-contact.

    Wow Bob, now that is some nice backyard birding. I like the titmouse, the thrasher, towhee and chickadee the most.

    Excellent captures Bob clap.gif

    On #1,3 & 4 your backgrounds are a tad funky. If you're using PS make a layer mask, apply NR, and then "paint" out your subject so the NR and accompanying detail loss is applied only to your background and not your subject.

    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!"
