This is beyond the boundaries of good taste, one little morsel after another in perfect perches and nice exposure to boot, I am getting a bad and sickening feeling that I am being digitally castrated!!, It's about time you start taking flight shots , macros and such, we need you to fail at something, and soon, or I'll be wondering how many shots like this you were given for your soul ??

Alan,

How do you consistently get these nearly perfect images of beautiful birds on wonderful perches? Please give us at least one little tip. PLEASE! PLEASE! BTW, I'm also on my knees with no shame.

This is outstanding. One of the best images I've seen. Can't even find a piece of foilage that is bug eaten.

. I'd visit this friend often.

A very good fine art painter would be very hard pressed to create such a composition.

Very well done! The perch takes this one to the top!

Great light and shooting to you all!
