Thanks for all the comments. Yes, the bird was definitely real, and I erected the perch on Tuesday and finally got this shot on Friday. I had a couple of other shots with finches on the pencil, but the titmouse is a less frequent visitor! I only had this and two other shots in total to pick from, so was a tough but rewarding challenge for me.

Great close up of the bird!

Excellent capture -- did you have to wait long? I love the detail in this image, especially in the feet, and feathers. Depth of field is very good too -- great job! 10 LanSnake

Great photo of a bird (8 if 'birds' were the theme), but the pencils are anecdotal (4).

nicely done.

Nice capture, great DOF.

is this a live bird?

Very nice. Focus is excellent. Lighting is good. Subject matter is good. 8

Not sure if PC or PH oto. Looks like could be done entirely in camera. Will give benefit of the doubt.

Excellent bird shot! And the use of pencils to do it...
Really Cool!

Great bird shot. (Kinda makes the pencils insignificant, but who's counting?) The detail of the bird is exquisite! 9 Swash

I should have figured you would get your bird picture into the pencil challenge.
08/20/2002 02:25:00 PM
Good idea, nice shot...
08/20/2002 01:07:00 PM
Impressive to get the bird actually on the pencil, which does bring it more into the shot, although I still find myself thinking, "so it's a pencil instead of a regular stick, so what?". But it's a great photo of the bird, with seed in mouth, and I love the glint in the eye. Would lose the little bits of other pencils at left and right.

Dang! GREAT idea, creative job. Score 7 ~Kee

Very sharp picture, that must be a tame bird!!
08/19/2002 06:14:00 PM
Beautiful use for pencils! Nice photograph with good catch light in the titmouse's eye. Simple uncluttered background makes the bird stand out. Very nice! Grayce...aka...gracious

Nice crisp shot
08/19/2002 03:22:00 PM
whatever it is it has a funny name
08/19/2002 02:39:00 PM
nice photo and the subject worked for bird seed 10 for detail
08/19/2002 02:26:00 PM
The clarity of that bird is amazing. He's even got something in his mouth! Yup, I see the pencils. lol. Lighting is beautiful and I love how the background is just that. Background and nothing else. Nothing really that I would change here. He's beautiful. Good luck in the challenge.

Striking photo. Great DOF, complimentary colors.......
08/19/2002 12:08:00 PM
Nice shot, very clear.
08/19/2002 11:05:00 AM
Nice job, he even posed for you. How long of a lens did you use? Very clear focus, it looks like you were only a couple of inches away.
08/19/2002 10:50:00 AM
nice image. I would love to see more of the pencils...
08/19/2002 02:42:00 AM
Fortuitous. She came with her own lunch. her expression seems to say she didn't expect you'd be joining her. 8

This has absolutely nothing to do with pencils, period. Hello?
