Description

This is my first attempt at photographing the numberous birds that have been visiting our bird feeder this winter. I draped a blue tarp so it would be the background and then setup my camera to take a picture every 30 seconds. I cropped this shot so the feeder didn't show and did a Gaussian Blur to throw the background more out of focus. F3.4 at 1/640 second

I like it Ron! Very creative using the blue tarp to hide a distracting background. It has a very heavenly feel to it. Nice job. #208207

very nice work. The muted tones of the bird and brance contrast nicely with the bright blue background. The tarp was an excellent idea. Congratulations! Well deserved recognition!
