Thanks Mojgan,
I thought I would take advantage of the panoramic format and show a little two page story.
Thanks again for your support.

Thanks Dave,
I thought it worked out well the way his feet were still on the fence. about 1/1000 of a second later and he would have been gone.

Thanks for the great comment Nick.
The only reason I labelled the image "semi Wildlife" is because I figure if I tempt the birds in my own backyard with seeds, it's kind of cheating. :) Not quite the same as taking shot in a zoo, but almost.
I also prefer the left image, because of the way his head is turned, with the seed in his mouth. As you say, that one could easily stand alone. The second one alone would almost just be a mistake. But I thought the combination made sense.
Unfortunately, I've deleted the rest of the sequence.
I do prefer the DOF like in these images. I think the separation of the subject in focus to the background out of focus works nicely in this kind of image.
As far as the metering goes for these images, the property details for the image shows that I had the camera set on Spot metering.

The only thing I don't really understand, Andre, is: why semi-wildlife? To me it is as wildlife as it can get. I mean, OK, the wooden plank on the bottom looks quite "civilized" but that little guy you captured stole the show, and whatever kind of plank it sits on, still it remains as wild a Black-Capped Chickadee as it can get. So it looks to me, anyway.
From the two frames I prefer the left one, on a rather "mainstream" way. It is a small dedication to that feathered little thingie. The right one, as an image for itself, can only live in such a sequence, I guess. Alone for itself it would be rather "strange", but in such a sequence it gets another quality, like a "normal" member of the sequence of frames that correspond to its own nature. BTW, any chance to show us the whole sequence?
The settings were just about perfect here, and I wish I could get something like that even on a singular photo. The whole emphasis has been given to the real protagonist and the rest is just "the scene". Most of the time I am rather allergic against such a "solitary" capture of the subject itself, but in such cases even I could do nothing else than admit that any larger DoF would diminish the importance of the bird itself.
Which, in combination with the lighting that puts a rather strong emphasis on the bird, I must ask you about the light metering method again. Was that matrix or something else? I ask also because I try to get some good shots of birds like this one without any kind of "special" coloring, but most of the time they just dissolve into the background, even if I use a very restricted DoF just around the bird. So, what the heck I miss?
Cheers!
Nick

Thanks Sunset Man,
I think he did like the food :) I guess he went to get his buddies, to share. They seem to line up patiently for their turn on the fence. Since this one was taken, I set up a dead branch to shoot the waiting birds rather than the eating birds. Sort of a faux wildlife situation. But, without the fence, I could be 100 feet away in the bush. :)

Aloha Andre,
What happened ... He didn't like the food that was left for him or just went to get desert? :))
It's nice to see a couple of 'Two-Panels' Side-by-Side ...
Best of Regards,
~SUNSET MAN~
