Well, when I took this one I was initially quite happy as I can rarely get a decent shot of just about any birds around here and these little guys only stay put for a second of two before taking off again. But when I got home I realized I forgot to change my ISO back down to something more reasonable rather than the 800 it was set at :(

Superb composition, color and DOF! I don't think the ISO hurts it at all.

I love this - Its so clean and has such a great background. With people you can re-move them, with animals its luck of the draw with background, pose and such. Great work

Yes, black capped chickadees are so fidgety. Sometimes they take off in the time it takes to raise the viewfinder to your eye! I really like the angle and pose - it's almost as though it would be drawn in a painting.

Not bad at all, you even have a catchlight in his eye. The DOF is complementary (surprisingly shallow for f/13) and the particular branch he's perched on has lots of angles for added interest. Might have gotten a little more detail in the white feathers with a lower ISO but really, this is quite nice!
