Good Evening

Another juvenile Tuft Titmouse shot from my back yard. I really liked how the soft light seems to cascade its way down his back. Hope you like it, have a great day.

Greg

Excellent shot. Love the DOF and the bokeh. Crop is nice but I think a horizontal one would work as well.

Hi Greg, really sharp image.
Details are super and colors true!

Hi Greg,
I agree with you on the light here. Very nice! Beautiful colors and sharp detail. The darker backround really looks great in this one.

Hello Gregory!
Excellent shot of this bird. Sharp and tightly framed with nice background blur contrasting the lighter subject (on the funny note: is it a halo around its head?) Interesting pose and good light. Congratulations,
Mark

Delightful image, Greg.
I admire the way you have captured the bird with such a nice angle of light from the rear and a dark BG to make it stand out sharply.
Thanks for sharing this great picture.

Hi Greg

Lovely back and side view. Good depth of colour. Very good quality. :-)
