Hello Jane,
You captured this fine Sparrow very nicely on the stone! Great focus and fine details. It looks really great against the plain 'pink' background.

Hi Jane,
You certainly are an expert for bird images and this is another cracker.Good detail and lovely handling of the difficult shades of colour.The light on the bird is very natural and you did a good job of getting white as white.Good to see you again.

And with the converter on..no wonder converters are so high end priced....at least to me...I watch every penny now....but you get to ride in a golf cart if you wished....right? If not I wish you would consider...I have a tripod which I bought for my personal electric mobility device we also call a scooter...such fun you might have....ahhh well it looks fine and I am glad you are enjoying your camera.

Perfect shot Jane,
You couldn't have posed him yourself any better. He did just what you always hope they will do, give you a great side view and show off his beautiful plumage.
Very sharp and with wonderful detail. Good lighting and exposure. Great image!!

Very beautiful picture of this Black-throated Sparrow, Jane.
Those strips of white on the head and the neck go very well with the black of the throat.
Very good capture from a good POV with sharp details and colours.

A lovley shot of this beautiful sparrow in your signature style...sharp, aesthetic and absolutly no-nonsense..
I learn so much about this new love of mine, photography, from the like of you... Example, I find that Bob Shannon and you have similar non-nonsense styles, there's no blurring or hiding stuff for the both of you...Both great shots from my perspective..But that's where the similarity ends..From there you've both belong to diagonally opposite schools of thought..both awe-inspiring...
Just my thoughts..
