Thank you very much for your comments - this shot was a result of patience (something I seldom have)... waited a very long time for him to decide to move from his comfortable spot in the tree. 

Hi Mike,

Thanks a lot for your comments. For the trip, I bit the bullet and got the Canon 500mm f/4.0 L IS. It was pretty amazing.  The weight didn't bother me so much because I attached a bean pod to the tripod mount that sat on the edge of an open top vehicle.  Thanks for stopping by!

a classic... well done

this is a difficult subject to capture in a unique way, but you've done it!

unique angle; the sharp contrast adds interest

I like the simplicity of this photo - great color too

great lighting and texture

had only 24 hours in Milwaukee, but had to see what Tim Holte has

made famous on photo.net.... but could not do it justice.

reactions welcome - suggestions about cropping appreciated too. What

do you think?

Neat photo - good composition and clarity - the bright light on the building is distracting a bit - this is a great place for interesting street shots. How did you manage to be all alone? I think I have one of this bean in my folder.
