Please send some of these down here!
Beautiful image - tack-sharp, nice pose, bright eye, good perch and wonderful, smooth BG. Well done!

Excellent feather detail! We are getting some of these down here mixed in with our Carolina Chickadees. At times, they are tough to tell apart. This is a great look for comparison purposes.

Aesthetically, the catchlight in the eye really makes it come alive. And the smooth bokeh is wonderful.

Beautiful clean look at this little Chickadee. Great detail in the plumage, and I really like seeing some definition in the eye like this. Well done!

Lovely light and detail Albert. Is this a set up perch? If so I'd possibly try to avoid broken ends. If not, you can't help where it lands. well done.

cheers

Nice light on this one Albert. Great exposure and BG too. Perch works Ok for me, as my attention is kept on the bird.

Nicely done Albert. The bird looks great and I think the background works well also. I enjoy the colors throughout.
