Great colors and light. Nice pose. I would run a bit of NR on the BG only if this were mine.

Nice catch. I always have trouble getting close to bluebirds. Background is a little noisy in the large image.

Nice work but remember to apply noise reduction when working with the 7D. I have been using the 7D since January 2009 and find that applying selective NR on the BG only takes images up a notch. Not sure which editing suite you use but this could do with another round on the BG only.

Bang on DOF and focus. Good pose, eye contact and perch.

Great colors and you have handled the exposure very well.
