Just gorgeous! Fine detail, great colors - good pose and clean BG.
The tiniest nit: you might consider cloning out that half-berry at the bottom to give a clean edge all around.
A very merry Christmas to you and your family too!

Great image. Bird is perfectly sharp. Those berries and their jackets are spectacularly colored and I like the comp you have chosen. I do see a halo around the head and beak.

I love the colors added by the bittersweet. Nice how well the eye shows in the black mask. Excellent details overall. Happy holidays to you too.

Perfection in every way. It's a cute bird, nice and sharp, composition pleasing, complimented by the flowers, and a nice catch light in the eye. Wish it were mine

Beautiful, sharp and the bright colors contrast perfectly with the grays and blacks of the chickadee and the background. Nice. Edmund Williams
