They must be tiny because they look small even on that small branch. I like the contrast with the red branches and background plus you have good look at this bird, way to go.

Nice, Rob. I like the composition a lot-it's nice and sparse, but with an elegant feel.

Nice photo with good sharpness and detail. I like the BG, but would suggest removing the OOF leaves in the ULC. Thanks for sharing.

A little beauty Rob!!! Excellent details, I like the inclusion of the leaves in the top of the frame.
