Nice detail and BG. Maybe the crop a little tight. I would probably clone out the piece of branch that is at the birds rear end.

Nice detail, Darren. I like the pose a lot and it doesn't feel too tight for my taste. It may just be this company laptop, but the cheek looks like it might be blown. In the sun, I'll usually use a full stop or more of negative compensation on the exposure on this species-those cheek patches are bright!

Very nice pose, perch and look from the chickadee. I also would like to see a little more room around the bird but a fine shot as is, nice job in getting this.
