Young chickadees are hanging around my feeders. Fun to watch. Lost a little detail in the blacks and whites; this was a difficult exposure but maybe OK.

What a charming little character. These black and white birds are hard to expose, well done.

Nice job David, an excellent choice of exposure settings, nice detail and BG!
What a cute pose and a great bg. I think that the soft areas combine well with what is sharp in this image. Love the pattern of feathers on the breast and that sharp eye with a reflection in it makes up for a lot that might otherwise get nits. Overall I get the impression of both overall sharpness and movement, if that makes sense. It seems to for me, anyway. I like the look of the image quite a lot.

Excellent, David. As others have said, the technicals and the background are fantastic. Great details on the chick too. Well done.
