This is pretty beautiful, Keith.
Bird, perch, bg... everything works pretty fine on the image.

Another gorgeous capture Keith. Cracking BKG, nice side profile and display of the crest too. Perch is well balanced with the subject and the lichen is an added bonus.

Pretty much perfect in terms of what I would strive for (but rarely get) in a bird photo: good detail, pose, perch, and background. Well done.

Outstanding. Almost perfect (Nit of nits: there appears to be a small halo around the bottom of the branch lichen on LL side; at least I think there is.)

Everything about this one is excellent. Love the muted background and the perch is great. Detail on the Tit couldn't be better, outstanding shot.

I like the detail, pose, composition and sharpness of this image. I really like how you captured the range of color of this bird, from the black to the soft tan of the underside. Where was this taken? Thanks for sharing.

Terrific shot, Keith. If it's a repost, it's well worth it.The techs are great but the color palette makes the shot.

Holy cow Keith. This is simply stunning. Everything about it is picture perfect. Head turn, background, colors, eye catchlight, feather detail, and of course the perch. WOWSER. Awesome image Keith.
