This cheery little guy greeted as I was leaving work today. He even honored me by staying long enough for me to get my camera out and snap a couple of pictures. C and C most welcome.
Nikon D5100, F/5.6, 1/500 sec., 200mm, aperture: 5, metering: pattern

Focus problem? On manual focus? Or Automatic?
Exposure seems fair for shade, but could have used some flash fill!
Nice opportunity to get that kind of "looking into thier world" perspective. For only having time to grab a couple shots you didn't do bad setting it up...

Looks like you did everything right but you have camera shake, Don't get excited, and keep practicing.

The problem with this type of subject is that you have to rush because you don't know how long they will stay around. Very difficult to get a sharp focus when you are rushed. Nice composition so keep taking these photos and sharing your results.

Yes... That's the sport of it! No quarter asked...none given.
And you did the right thing. Get what you can...no matter how it turns out and learn from it, because, in time, it will turn out much better. The incentive of a few ugly "could have been wonderful" failures does wonders for our sincerity! And you get better. Much better. You may also get a bit grouchy, suspicious, paranoid even.........

PS... And greedy, very greedy.

I appreciate your replys. Thank you. I've found that when it comes to birds, flying bugs, and butterflies, you don't always have time to set up a good shot. You take what you can get at a moments notice.

I agree. It's impossible to ask a wild animal to be still and pose for you.

I begged an Osprey to wait for me to get my camera out yesterday. I had just parked when he & his catch landed on a stump 20 feet away. He waited just long enough for me to get one of my infamous "southbound" shots! You were very lucky!

I've gotten my fair share of "South Bound" shots also.
