Angela,
What a stunning image. That background could not show off the bird any better and the colors are soooo complimentary. The perch is fantastic. The detail and exposure are spot on and the head angle is perfect. One of the best images I've seen in a while. This is just a suggestion but you might consider adding a tiny bit of canvas to the top if you have it. What a sweet image Angela.

This Titmouse's crest reminds me of some of those hats that the English ladies wear. A lovely image, BG, and perch and one that you should be proud of.

Fine details, techs look very good Angela.
I especially like the smart alert pose, and the sharply raised crown really does it for me

Very nice.

Very nice! All your shots that I have seen recently have been great! I can't exactly decide, but I am wondering if the highlights on the branch on the left should be toned down a hair...I especially like the larger version...beautiful detail on the bird!

I love this composition Angela. The background just sets the bird off beautifully and techs look spot on as usual- a very pleasing image.

Great subject, well photographed. I'd give the bird more room up top.
