Disheveled Bushtit

[Michael Gerald-Yamasaki]

Greetings. Flitting here & there managed to get this free of the branches of, well, a bush. Wish the leg didn't align with the perch. Thanks for looking.

Michael:

Quite the fuzzball, with good head position,well exposed. IQ effected somewhat by the crop, but still presentable. If possible, a step to your right would have given a bit more clearance in front of the bird, at the risk of crowding the left side. I think that would be a fair trade off, because we want a bit more room in front in this type of image.

You could also consider removing the OOF branch closest to the breast.

Cheers

This bird is giving you such a cute pose and I love all those feather details. The twigs are quite distracting but this cutie-pie is strong enough to carry the image.

Randy, Marina,

Thanks much for your comments. They are much appreciated.

Unbelievably cute and this little "fuzzball" -as Randy well described it- would look absolutely stunning against a clean blue BG! Great capture, TFS!

Kind regards,
