I now know how pros get their superb pictures with vivid colors & extraordinary details. I bought a cheapo camo hunter's blind and set it up in the back yard near some of my feeders. I'm culling through the pile and I was hoping I would get this one on target. What a delight it was to see it come to life on the screen. I only cropped some tree out and rotated the pix. No detail enhancement. I'll try dressing it up with Adode later but here is todays prize, well at least for me.

CMF

Nikon D80 70-300mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S DX VR + blind and close.

hey CMF..nice shot...when you get it editied, be sure to show us the editied one too..my only advise on editing would be avoid  oversharpening...when you over-sharpen shots, they lose thier "realness", and begin to look "drawn, or painted"..,but you have a great starting point... the compostion is great... keep shooting..
