I love these birds, they visit my birdfeeder quite often. I had no idea what they were when I first saw one. Thank you for providing so much information on them. I love your blurred background and the fine detail you've captured. Well done.

Hi David.
Excellent capture of this amazing bird.Beautiful colours and fine sharp details.Very nice POV.Composition is maybe much centric,but all the more show through amazing and very interesting blurry background.Diffused lighting gives very nice atmosphere.
Well done,nice work!
TFS and best greetings,

Hi Dave,
Nice capture made even nicer with your pp work. This is sharp and well composed, though for me it falls into a neither here nor there category when it comes to close-up. In this case I would like to see the whole bird.
Nevertheless its a good shot.
TFS, regards, Ivan

I agree with Ivan, that I would like to see the whole bird...probably because it is such a gorgeous photograph...I want more. The softness throughout the image look like a wonderful watercolor painting. The background is fantastic. I love this picture.

Very good picture, I like the soft colors and the great BG. I for one, prefer this to the brighter image you show in one of the WS.

Hi Dave
Glad to hear your morning went well (to say the least) ;))
I would like to have some of these but unfortunately my window doesnt offer so much perspective :)
This little flicker looks great!
I really like the pattern on its feathers and especially the spots on the chest. The sharpness is really good and the exposure spot-on.
I saw you WS with the over-exposed section and i think you did great to clone it out.
I would say this is a splendid capture as it is now...although a whole view of the bird would probably be just a little great...but after all...what can you ask more of a photo taken from the bed :)))))))
Cheers, my friend and TFS

Hi Dave,
Beautiful bird, we don't have this species here.
I see you're testing the limits of your ISO range :) Nice results at 1600. Perhaps a tad UE, not much though.
Well done & TFS.

Hi Dave,
Hope you had pj's on. Great details, colors and post production work. I must thank you too for the great note, it solves a mystery thats been bugging me for awhile. They are eating ants out of the lawn.

Hi Dave,

Excellent view of the flicker - shows the coloring very clearly, even a touch of the red on the back of the neck.

Normally I would be critical of the fact the subject is smack in the center of the image, but in this shot I think you have gotten away with breaking that compositional rule. I love the muted colors and the blurry background. Great detail in the feathers, yet a softness everywhere else that helps the bird stand out in a more or less low contrast situation. Great capture, David!

Hello Dave,
That's a new species for me! Well composed with nice lighting. Excellent POV too. And nice story behind the picture... lazy shot from the bed :-) Why not! That's a nature photography ;-)
Best greetings!!!

Hello Dave,
I love those birds that I really don't see often. In fact, I saw him only once in a National Park. This is a very nice capture with good details, colors, pose of the bird and beautiful catch light in it eye. This is also well composed. Thanks,
Claudine

Great shot David :-)
