Lovely use of shutter speed and DOF....not sure if the hand really helps the overall picture or not...but the bird itself is great

Wow I really like this, and I'm jealous that you can get the black capped chickadee to land in your hand. I have several that frequent my feeders, but they are very skiddish.

Awesome!!! Very nice detail on the bird and great moment to capture. The tree in the background competes a bit for my attention with its strong lines; might be less of a distraction if it were desaturated.

This is really neat. I really like the look of the wings The only thing that bothers me (and I am nit-picking here) is the halo around the beak.......that bright orange really stands out.
