My cleanest shot.

This is by far my cleanest shot of a chickadee. All my other shots of chickadees, other than the one in the snow, had distracting branches behind them. This shot had just one, which I was able to easily clone out.

Looks good Mike.

Nice looking chickadee.

Well done, Mike. Looks like he's keeping a close eye on you!

Good job, Mike. Do you have a noise reduction software by chance? If so, this fella might benefit from a pass of it.

Buzz, you are absolutely correct. I didn't think it would make a difference, but it did. It wasn't near as evident in the full size tif file though, but it did make a bit of a difference. I'm not going to change the post here, though.

Thanks for the tip.

Thats great, Mike. I only pointed it because it was a nice image and I know your working your way to the next level. I personally will take any CC anybody wants to give at anytime... I always feel the need to make my images the best they can be.

Very nice shot X I like it a lot. One of your nicest with the new camera!
