This is the product of spending a weekend in a friend's backyard in Folsum California. It took a while for mama to accept me, but once she did, she completely ignored me.

Beautiful shot, Dan--great moment and the DOF choice works real well. Ideally, would have been nice to have a solid bg behind the birds head--but i appreciate the difficulty of that comp. :smile:
