Kevin,
Just a side note. In the previous thread about bokeh, I believe this qualifies as "good" bokeh as described by Mike Johnston over on The Online Photographer.

Nice catch!  How did you get this little one to pose against a seamless background?

Mike.

No, it doesn't. Instead, it qualifies as "totally blurred background."

Thanks Mike, it was just pure luck on my part, the backround is actually the sky and some very distant trees. He was sitting on a perch near a feeder.

Sweet. Actually I wish for a little more detailed, and/or differently colored bg to be able to discern it more. Same tonality.
