Good set. I like the titmouse for the eye-contact.

Wow Bob, now that is some nice backyard birding. I like the titmouse, the thrasher, towhee and chickadee the most.

Excellent captures Bob :clap

On #1,3 & 4 your backgrounds are a tad funky. If you're using PS make a layer mask, apply NR, and then "paint" out your subject so the NR and accompanying detail loss is applied only to your background and not your subject.

Thanks for the tip Harry, I will give that a try. I use PS Elements 6. Always wantin' to lairn! :wink
