The bird of course is great, but I also love the perch and background.

Your cd is awesome. I've learned tons from it.

Very nice capture. BG, HA, techs, comp, perch and singing pose are Great. Not to discredit anything but is this a setup. Either way its beautiful.

A really cute bird with ideal head angle and I really like the perch. My only suggestion is that perhaps some highlights are just a tad bright - for example the lichens and pale bark on the branch.

I have not left much feedback as yet but I love everything about this from the orange lichen, the old mans beard and the greenery, the positioning of the bird and the pose are second to none.
Beautiful image and composition.

Hey David, yes the perch is set up over a feeder.

Beautiful chickadee on a lovely setup. Terrific singing pose, and techs are great as usual. There might be just a tiny hint of some crunchy oversharpening on just the white edges of wings and tail. Or maybe not.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Sweet!! Everything looks great here, even the open bill of the chickadee (which we do not often see like that). Just a very tiny bit of evergreen needle at bottom edge to lose.

Thanks. I'm with Jon on a few bright highlights. I didn't know (or remember) that you had been to Bosque.
