I found this nest yesterday at Jones Beach the Male did a good job of distracting me but I finally found the nest Mom was very vigilant and never left the nest. But the highlight of the weekend was on Saturday when thousands of Northern Flickers stopped in for a visit there was an endless flight of them going west all day.

Canon 1D 500mm f4 2x, Tripod Ball head Sidekick Leveling head, Manual exposure using incident meter 1/200 @ f10, Manual focus.

You did very well with the DOF, the bird is quite well separated. The colours are very nice and complimentary to the bird.

You did a great job getting the bird to pop from the bg & fg. Lovely colours and composition too :D
