Cool shot John. The larger view really shows off the sharp head with everything else moving. That really works well.

I like this one, John. Sort of a mess of bird, but the face is nice and clear.

Sweet, John. Bathing shots are always fun and you did a great job of getting the face in crisp focus on this one.

A fine example of a bathing bird image. The sharp head surrounded by water chaos works well.

Thanks all
The fact that birds can keep the head still whilst doing other things is good for us snappers ! Like a bird sitting on a shaking branch- the head is ofted still. Survival strategy I suppose.

I love these shots of my birds, too...especially the bluebirds. Nice sharp focus on the eyes and beak.

That's a lot of action going on John. Head is perfectly sharp. I'm surprised you didn't get wet!

Awesome with the sharply focused head and all the water movement. You can feel the bird moving.
