Excellent pose, Sandy. I love the raised wing and at this stage of development it really shows off the structure of a bird's wing beautifully. Great job on the exposure and hat's off for finding an angle that put almost all of that greenery in focus with the bird.

Nicely framed and good contrast between the colors of the bird and the background. I like the pose.

Great pose, Sandy. It does a great job showing off all of the details of those developing feathers in this fledgling. Nice job on the exposure.
