Really nice shot Cheryl, my only nit is the composition is a little too centered. Maybe more room on the right and less on the left if you have it. Great eye contact :toast:

Sweet shot, Cheryl. The head turn and excellent perch make it different. A hair off the left would make the comp stronger, IMHO.

Very nice! I like the head tilt too. Good work with the exposure of the bird in partial shadow. TI like the blue BG too. :toast:

Cheryl,

I love the tilted head, the great view of the eye of this White-eyed Vireo and the lovely colors in the background. If this were mine I might consider toning down some of the brighter leaves because they do compete with the bird slightly. The larger version shows lovely sharpness & detail.

Nice work on getting this bird out in the open.

I love that unusual eye. I also love how the colors of the foliage compliment the colors of the bird then contrast nicely with the blue background. Lovely.

Nice light on the bird and the folage. The little shadowing adds depth.

Looks great, Cheryl. Even the shadows are attractive. I like the repost a bit better than the original but both are fine. :toast:

Lovely image Cheryl - I like the pose with the slighly cocked head, and shared yellowish tones of bird and leaves.
