I like the hidden mickey comment lol. This looks pretty cool! I love the lighting and how it is also reflecting on the inside of the colanders. I like the touch of noise too. Looks great in black and white!

If you glue a tripod to your jacket, you need to share a picture of the setup with us ;-)

You did catch a great moment and I'm glad you decided to post it. Pileated Woodpeckers are such awesome birds and I'm always excited to get a shot of one, but getting the baby framed by the nest opening is a one in a million shot.

great capture none the less, the colour of the birds head and the head poking out is great

You almost got it. This is one of the situations where a DSLR has the flexibility to allow you to focus on the subject that you want, or to select the area of the image to focus on in the viewfinder. The camera focused on the little branch in the foreground in this shot.
Like you said, not the best photo, but it is a nice snapshot to share what's going on around your home.

I recognize the Robin so well that I don't even need to see it in color, I know right away. Interesting choice of b&w, almost looks like IR.

Didn't do anything beyond Basic Ed. I've wondered if that is a break in the leaves or an effect of the Irfanview USM.

which way?

I like the black and white treatments of this.

REally like the composition here. Great detail on the feathers. I see a slight glow around the beak. Was that one of your tweaks to add definition to it?

Anyone that can work the phrase 'cognitive dissonance ' into a photo gets a comment from me :- )

I do have to agree with you though - for a species that regularly travels thousands of miles, they do look wonderfully lost . .
