Vey pleasing image Sharon. Only nit for me is too much neg space (just personal taste thing). if it were mine, ight crop a little more from the right so the twig exits the frame in the corner.

A very well-deserved day of sunshine! (Winter be gone!!). I like this composition with the bird placed to the left of the frame. That eye really draws you in. Glad you took the day off. :smile:

Sharon,

This image has a peaceful feeling to it that I quite enjoy, lovely soft color in the background, nice light in the mockingbird's eye and the comp wroks for me.
