Taken on my back porch. This girl and her mate have been freqenting my feeders, much to the chagrin of the other birds! Thanks for looking!

I like the turnaround pose -- if you have Adobe you might want to clone out the slate eyeshine from the flash. If this is cropped I would add more head room.

I agree with Brian x 2. Attractive lady. Wish I could nail one of these but so far no go.

Nice shot Brandon. Would like to see it at the allowed 650 pixels.

Alan,
Here it is at 650, and with the improvements recommended above by Brian. The crop is a little looser, and I removed the flash glare from the eye. I might have overdone it with the USM...
