Good close-up Luke. Harsh back-lighting, still a very well detailed capture of this little fellow. Slow birding days are coming to an end, looking forward to seeing more of your pictures.

Excellent close-up, Luke. You must have been at almost minimum focal distance for this one.

Really nice detail, despite being mostly in shadow. You must have been right close to be forced into a portrait.

Luke:
Nice close image. Great detail as a result. I think the image could stand to have the black point set darker. I took a look at the larger version, added a levels adjustment layer and moved the black adjustment point in 18 points and still have details in the blacks. I thought it helped the image.

A really nice close look at this Downy Luke. The blacks looks a bit grey to me. I would adjust the black point to get those blacks black again.
