It is too crowded, hard to see what kind of bird is bringing what kind of food!

Thanks to all that voted this probably is my best shot. I can't believe though that 33 people voted 4 or less on this shot, even got a 1 and two 2's. I'm always amazed at the votes given.

Very good picture. I'm surprised you were able to get this close. The swallows at my Dad's house dive bomb us if we get to close to their nest. I've always tried to get pictures of them, but I'm trying too hard not to get hit. I'm impressed.

Lilies are a bear to shoot, at least for me. They are some beautiful flowers but it is hard to get a really great angle and see the whole flower . You've about done that here and like that your focus was good enough so that the the most front petal is entirely clear and sharp. Like the shadow too. My only nit is that the crop is a bit too tight at the top and loses part of one stamen or pistil or whatever that thing is that has the dark pollen on that stains your clothes. Well done otherwise.
