Fantastic pose with a wonderful BG, I like the small clumps of lichen on the perch. Terrific feather details in the large version. devil

Excellent, David, and my personal harbinger of spring. The detail is fine throughout with good dof, a nice perch and perfect singing pose.

Confident little bird, by the looks of it! Nice pose and overall comp. The mosses on the branch add a lot. Well done, David ! Cheers, Hans

Fine timing, detail and comp, David. The soft light is a bonus.

Really a quite lovely image! The composition really works for me, here. The calling pose just makes everything that much better!
