            Very nice color and background is blurred;  bird's head a little soft; could use more space in front of bird

            Main challenge was getting close to the bird. Used a 300 mm telephoto but lighting would not let me use a fast shutter speed. This was shot at 1/60 f.5.6 to get the desired depth of field. Several shots were taken to get one in decent focus.
