Golden-crowned Kinglet.

[Karl Egressy]

I took this picture a few days back.
I can see that I won't be able to catch up with them again during this year's migration,
as the weather will be rainy and windy for at least a week.
Thanks for looking.
(I was wondering if I should clone out the darker part of the BG on the right and darken the perch.)

Hi karl, overall this is a wee bit bright for my tastes. Is this a large crop? I can see a slight trace of CA on the perch to the right of the foot by the tail feathers.

Sweet BG so definitely something to persist with this fall.

What a cutie, nice fine detail and clean composition too, just a tad soft around the head I think, mostly the beak looks a little blurred

You sure captured the essence of "sweet" with this. Nice shot, clean bg and I love the skinny litle perch emphasizing the little feet.

[David Salem]

Nice shot. The detail is awesome and I can count the scales on those micro feet. Exposed well and The BG is very nice too. Yes I agree that you should work the BG and the perch. Well done.

A beautifully sharp capture of the Kinglet Karl and love the bird's pose here.

Excellent pose and details, Karl.

Hi Karl, love the 'listening' HA, and you have brought out the finer detail nicely. Cool thin perch, and love the striking BG, ( what is it? ) and if this were mine, I would have cropped this to a vertical.

Thanks Stuart, thank you all. I did some changes as per suggestions.
The yellow and the green, that is gone now, were the yellow and green leaves of trees behind the tree he was sitting in.
