This is so sweet... He is posing for you, John!! ...
Beautiful picture, excellent colors, light, focus... Hey... but how did you do it?... He must be very close to you, what lens did you use for this gorgeous picture? Thanks so much for sharing. A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art. Paul Cezanne

S/he thought I had food on me, but when s/he saw I don't, took off...
Irma, I used my Sigma 17-70 DC lens here and the camera was set to f/8, as I was shooting landscapes, so it's not the sharpest image. Thanx for commenting, eh! John We don't make mistakes, We make discoveries!

Chickadees can be quite tame. If you were to go out with seed in your palm it would probably feed out of your hand. I feed birds in my yard and can get pretty close even without food in my hand. Here's one I shot a couple of days ago.

Nice shot James, What do you use? I'd be careful with the noise and maybe a smaller logo...

Nice close shot!
Maybe I'm not fussy, but the noise doesn't seem bad to me. gear: camera and stuff http://adamloh.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/adamadam http://peopleeating.blogspot.com

It was shot with a Canon XTi using the 28-135mm IS lens. I had to dodge the eye area as it nearly disappeared into the black cap.
It has been sharpened using a high pass filter which may have accentuated the noise in the out of focus area. The noise doesn't bother me. It is reminiscent of film grain but if I were printing it I could mask the high pass layer over the background to eliminate that effect. I'd have to see how it looked as a print. The copyright notice is deliberately prominent on photos I post to the web now. There are too many people who think that anything posted on the web is fair game. It does not appear on my prints. I like sharing my photos but when they start appearing places I didn't send them to, that bothers me. Feed those chickadees and they will be very cooperative subjects.
