Slate-colored Junco

Nice image with good detail in the feathers. I like the soft colors in the bird and background. A few steps to the right might have kept those branches from crossing the bird, but still very nice as is.

These are great little winter birds to photograph. If this is from a blind, one suggestion would be to try and position the blind where you have a cleaner BG. You can always position the birds by using bits of seed to get them to perch where you want them. The vertical branch unfortunately distracts too much from the bird IMO. I few more feet to the right and you might have been in the clear.

First of all....Welcome to NPN Kevin! Very good exposure and detail on this Junco. I have pretty much the same opinion as Angela about the branch, so I won't repeat that, but overall, I really like this and good first post!

Nice sharpness and light Kevin. I find the oof vertical twig a little disconcerting

cheers

Nice image. I like the crispness of the feathers. I do think you could crop abit more off of the right side. Thanks for sharing, shows me it can be done as I continue my quest for a good junco photo.
