200mm --> 300mm with fov crop (x1.6)
Canon's 70-200mm f/4.0 L is a fantastic lens, silent, fast and extremely precise... It cost my eyes but i will never regret it !

Any chances of being able to buy this as a print?
pleeeeeeease??
if it was only depending on me, i would even not make people pay for my picture, but... i'm not a member on this site, only a registered user, and thus i don't have access to dpcprints! So the 'chances' to have it as a print are very very thin... sorry :) ! Anyway, there are tons of better bird pictures than mine on DPC, and i guess that many of them are available on dpcprints, have a look at it !
ehhe... OF COURSE I'm excited today, jerowe !! I avow that i expected to get a good final mark with this picture, but with all my bad previous 'experiences' on DPC, i didn't believe i could win a day! I want to congratulate metatate, MacClavey and above all manic35 who's been personally targeted by hell ugly trolls in this competition. To answer your question Yanko, the green background is almost the original color of my garden grass, i just set the highest saturation level available on my camera. And to all of you, thanks a LOT for all your encouraging (and also upcoming) comments!
I dedicate this picture to my crusty Shui Ling and to another little bird that started a very difficult and short life...
This is utterly, totally brilliant. Perfect for this challenge. I love the colours, and the clarity. The crop is quite tight - a little more space at the top and including all the tail feathers would enhance it even more I think. In spite of that, this is definitely one of the best entries in this challenge - a ribbon winner I think.
Wonderful sharpness and DOF. I wish there were a little more room above his head so he wasn't so cramped against the top fo the frame. Congrats, these little guys are quick.
Perfect!!! Best photo in the bunch!
The green of the background compliments the green tone to the chickadees feathers and the green in the worm and the beige of the clothe compliments all the lighter areas of the bird. I love the title, too, because you can look at it from two points of view- thats probably what the bird is thinking, and thats what the photographer is thinking at the same time. What a fantasic shot! Please make this a print if you can :)
This is beautiful. Great detail of this bird and it's capture. I think I would like to see it with the bottom cropped off, the white of the perch kind of takes away from the overall presentation.
caught it !
