Dan, I like the comp here. The perch works for me because the rusty color goes right along with the BG colors. The bird looks sharp, but the head a bit less so than the body, not sure why this would be given the SS, the fairly long distance to the bird as determined from your crop, and the small size of the bird. f/4 should have been enough to get keep the head tack sharp even if your POF was the body. Never the less, a nice shot.

nice job with this chickadee--the bird looks nice and sharp for the large crop (though as Ron noticed, the head is slightly softer). the eye stands out very well. all that's missing for me is a more natural perch.

Beautiful sharp details and nice exposure. I usually like a more natural perch but this one adds a nice compliment to the BG.

Hi Don, nice details and I like the BG , but I'd de-saturate the blue in the eye. The beak could also do with sharpening up if you can.
