This fella learned to get past my squirrel and large bird "proof" feeder. frown

This is a very busy photo even with the artistic touch. But, it does show off his gymnastic skills in getting to the sunflower seeds!

BTW, he taught a younger red bellied how to do this, too....Monkey see, monkey do! sad

Quite a catch, Lucy ! The dof nicely reduces the business of the scene, though personally I'm not mad about the vignetting - I feel it would work well without.

A clever bird and definitely a busy image, Lucy. A good catch.

This is a nicely artistic presentation, Lucy, with the oof leaves and flowers adding some fine color. I'm not sure how, but I wish the bird stood out a bit more from it's surroundings. Maybe some selective dodging on the bird?

I agree with Ian the vignetting adds to some confusion, I like the subject and the good eye to catch an interesting scene and certainly the center focal point. Lucy you caught a very nice moment.

Indeed, a rare catch! The blurred effect in the is very appealing. Makes it look pastelish. Like the vignetting. Good work Lucy
