I finally got my equipment out and set-up in my backyard and had some fun yesterday. It was the first time I used my 20D for bird photography and I was quite please with it. The 1.6 crop factor was SO nice. I know this is a tad too hot.

Comments appreciated.

Canon 20D, 500/4 IS w/ 1.4 TC, ISO 400, F7.1, 1/200. Canon raw, converted with C1 (finally). Second catch light cloned out. Slight crop.

I love the dimensional look of this image and I wish I had a tree like this in my backyard! :)

Beautiful image. There is the slightest blue color cast to this and I wish the bird was looking more this way. Well done.

Wonderful shot.
I love the framing by the pine needles.

Nice job! I too really like the framed by needles/branches effect. A good "habitat" type image. About it being hot, have you tried the 2 exposure method when processing RAW? Develop one version for the highlights and another for shadows and combine manually or by using software.

CHeers!

Would want to see the white toned down a little and take away the slight color cast ...
A great capture, Chris! :roll:

This is a very pretty shot of the bird in it's habitat. I like the tiny little cones, just the right size for this little one.

Love the Hemlock(?). The cheeks are a bit toasty, but the lacy branches really make this one shine.
