Lovely composition, Jerry, and the bg is very nice.

Great isolation on this bird and nice framing. I like the light on the eye and the bit of color from the perch

I like the position of the bird and the plain BG. For me, I would like to see the image just a bit darker. Also, the larger image seems a bit soft, was this hand held or tripod? thanks for sharing.

Jerry: nicely posed,framed and with a clean b/g, but on my monitor, the images appear soft. Do you see the softness on your monitor? Richard

Pretty nice frame Jerry. Image doesn't look quite sharp and it is pretty bright. I think there is too much room at the top of the frame which doesn't add value to the image.

Very nice portrait of this guy on a nice perch with a sweet background Jerry, if it were mine I would crop a sliver from the top. devil

Nice clean image of this Mockingbird Jerry. I agree a tad off the top might make it even better.
