D500, 500 F5,6. 1/4000, f/5,6, ISO 6400. With a little help from Topaz Noiseware.

This bird was feeding on the dried flowers of some beebalm in my garden. I was very pleased to see it eat something besides sunflower seeds, and glad I left the dead plants there for the birds. ! I was going to crop it, but I like the whole scene.

I like the natural look to it, it's got that true nature value here, way to go CYNTHIA. P.S. for me the left side up should not be part of this image.

Thanks Peter. Yes, I wondered about that left side, but I think it perhaps provides balance and varity.

I'm not quite sure why this isn't in the 'Art' category - because this is Art at its best. A really beautiful image, Cindy that would make a gorgeous print or card. I Love it!
