Large lens opening, fast shutter and low ISO, right George?? I'm guessing this is how you got the blurred background. Regards

Very good details on this beauty! The light is good. The limited DOF allows that bird to pop right out of the frame!

Yep, Larry, and may I say that I agree with you wholeheartedly. The camera has never seen what the eye sees, and good photographers from the earliest days have manipulated their images--sometimes to trick the viewer but more often to make the picture tell the truth about what they saw. Today, making those changes is a heck of a lot easier, but that's the only difference. This little shot is much closer to the real scene as I saw it than what came out of the camera. --And you thought you had the last word on philosophy for today!!! ;-)

Good job...I know there are those who say it ain't photography if it isn't straight from the camera, and while I try to do the best I can with the original shot I've always considered the photo as raw material for the end composition...enough philosophy for today
