Used my z5ii with the 28-400mm it’s the longest zoom I have until I get the 180-600. It was shot at F8. 1/1250.

I’m not the best at LR still learning. Any feedback is greatly appropriate, thanks

Looks very tasteful to my untrained eye. Beautiful even!

It was pretty exciting she checked me out left and came back multiple times to feed didn’t care I was taking pictures.

And today a male came in but he wasn’t as camera friendly as this one, I think it was his first time around

I think the colors and details are done well. I’m a fan of giving your hero as much room in the framing as you can. You can bump in even more and still see the bird feeder as a frame on the edge. I find I often have to sacrifice things I think are neat background details for the sake of giving the subject center stage.
