Excellent techs, Matt, with wonderful detail and a nice bg. That little bit of cock to the head and the open beak give this one an over-the-top cuteness factor for me. Wonderful image.

Very nice. This image is an excellent example of how simple uncluttered images can be so effective. I know that situations don't always present themselves that allow for that, but when they do, there's always a right answer to be found. Nicely done !

Nice light, detail and composition. I like the calling pose and the background showcases the pewee well. They look remarkably like our western wood pewee.

This is really nice Matt. Love the look and the light and the BG. It feels just a touch tight in the frame. Not sure if you have more space to work with a different crop? Perhaps a portrait?

Nice capture of this cute little bird Matt. Great feather detail and a pleasing background. The open beak always adds a little more pizzazz to the image. Well done!
