These little guys were dive bombing my bird feeder the other day and I happened to catch one while doing some test shots at higher ISO settings on my NEW D300!!!!
I like the background dappled light and the positioning of the bird. I hope you enjoy...
A couple of comments about the 'processing'. This was taken at high ISO and this little guy was taking up very little of the frame. It is about full crop, but even with that I like the grain and the blur created.
I'm slowly getting caught up with comments - thanks for yours. Congrats on the new purchase by the way. I think you will like it. I'm still trying to get used to mine - it is quite a step up for me.
I like the blur and grain too and overall think this definitely should be in B&W.
I agree with you on the blur and grain - all too often (in my opinion) those elements are written off immediately as "bad" when there are times where it adds a richness, a context to a photo - this is one of those times. Here it's more in keeping with the form and function of the bird. Oh, and enjoy the new toy!
