Canon 50D,600mm f/4L IS USM + 1.4TC, ISO 200, f8@1/250sec.

Here is the mate of my previous posting. She was a little more cooperative and sat on the perch I set up for them.
Thanks everyone for all your comments, Dan

Superb! The composition with the perch really adds to it.

Can't ask for much more. Nice job setting up the perch, the BG is good, the soft light is perfect for this setup, & the pose w/ a meal looks great! :toast:

Danny,

The redbud perch is gorgeous with the blue bird's colors. Love the food in the bill and the over the shoulder look you appear to be getting.

I do wish is that you had posted this larger, 720 pixels on the long side for the small version, 1200 pixels on the long side for the optional larger version. Also agree with what others have written about the watermark.
