Well done on the techs, and the curve in the branch enhances the overall image ! Cheers, Hans

This is a delightful pose, David. Fine background and perch as usual. Techs are also spot on.

We have lots of these here and this one does look like a baby. A nice shot with good detail and color. The branch is a little heavy in relation to the Bird but it makes up for that be being diagonal and cradling the Bird. Nicely done, David!

HI David
The Pine Siskin looks great. I love the puffed out feathers and head turn.

Really nice shot, David. Great detail, and I love that perch, with the nice curve.
