Great images, Michael! I really like image 1 and 2.

Thanks Pete – I put image 1 up first b/c I felt it had a wonderful feel to it and would make folks curious to view the rest. I like the second b/c it gives a nice environmental context for the first – also showing the signs of early Spring.

Thank-you AnnaMeghan! I was actually going to put that one as the first image. I love the way the bird is framed by the branches. I was standing on the edge of the forest by our high school – taking shots of some plants/trees – when this bold junco swooped down onto a branch closeby, then kept hopping from branch to branch – he must have thought I had some seed available. I should have given him a reward.

Thanks John. I couldn’t decide on which one I preferred – hence the 8 images.

Number 7. But I can’t figure out why. I usually love colours.

A little experiment. I left a hint of colour in the feathers and background – seems to enhance the composition and give a bit of a vintage feel.

IM5 – love capturing birds when they’re fluffing themselves – so cute, but all the images are quite lovely.

Thank-you Ingrid – Quite a compliment coming from a Bird Pro like yourself. I just noticed that you’ve just put up a new post after a long absence from blog-world – I have to set aside some time to study it.

My favorite is the first one, both for the clarity in the bird and the catchlight in its eye.

Yes, funny how a little catchlight brings it to life.

Yes, a small detail but one that tends to make a huge difference in bird photography I think.

I’ve just started doing some bird photography recently, thanks to an camera upgrade and a nice 28-280 lens.
Here is my favourite capture … https://michaelhoffmannphotography.com/2017/02/24/the-magnificent-seven/

True. I took about 40 shots as the bird bounced from branch to branch. A dozen turned out nicely.

No 5. A really nice action shot.

Thankyou Aspaai – I think he/she was about fly off the branch. I hoped to get a shot “in-flight” but no luck. Btw – Quite an interesting gravatar you’ve chosen for yourself.

Such a great collection of photos. You take as many photos as I do of one bird. I think I like the last one best because of the shapes, hard decisions.
