Nice capture of bird and branches, only nit is with bright top left BG being a little distracting.

Never heard of the bird, but he sure is pretty. I like the inclusion of habitat in this. Sharon

Very good detail, Monica. You might give the bird a bit more room on the left, if you have it. I like the perch and the rather pensive mood the bird seems to convey. :toast:

Looks like a cold day! A slightly busy background, but there is nothing you can do about it. After all, its you saw the bird. I might try to bring the bird a little lower in the frame - right now it looks rather centered.

Great shot. The light is nice, you have a good catchlight and I really like the pine tree perch. Looks like he could stand to go on a diet but I expect he is just fluffed up against the cold. This is the first time I have seen this bird. One of the things I like about NPN is that I get to see all the birds from around the world that I might otherwise never get to see.
