Front Yard Birds

Just two from today.

This one was a very heavy crop. I was suprised at how sharp it stayed at such a heavy crop (at least I thought so)

hmm the first looks a little oversaturated - low it down a little I think.
the second gets the WOW factor from me = beautiful! Its rare to get a background and forground work so well with the subject, but you did!
A very nice shot with a sharp bird!

Thanks. I did these with the "Vivid" setting, which I'll admit, over saturated the first one. I didn't catch it until you mentioned it (looked at too many photos today I think), so thanks for the tip.

The first one doesn't look that oversaturated from my screen.

I love, love, love that second one. It came out to have beautiful compostion. Nice!!

Love the both of them - first doesn't look to saturated to me, either, but could be my monitor...
Absolutely LOVE the second one. What kind of bird is that?

Thanks....and to think that I almost deleted this one before trying out a crop.

Thank you. I didn't expect them to be so well received. I don't know what kind of bird the second one is....I'm guessing some type of finch maybe? We have a bird feeder with a lot of fenches and a lot of these guys around too.
