A perched Bushtit

[Miguel Palaviccini]

My yard is finally starting to produce :) I recently planted 7 native trees and the birds have noticed. The bushtits, in particular, are now around most of the day.

I had some flowering perches set up, but these guys decided they really wanted to land on the natural perch. So I went with the flow and moved around to get this capture.

This is fabulous! I love the strong vertical lines, the muted colors and the sweet and sharp bird. Very artistic presentation.

A great shot ,the composition works great for me as does the slightly OOF tail which suggests motion, bet they don't sit still very long, nearly forgot the BG is just superb.

[Mike Poole]

Very bold composition and all the better for it, nice use of the vertical perch, detail and background spot on as well

[Daniel Cadieux]

This is visually quite pleasing. I love all the square angles you got here. Awesome BG too. Way to go adapting to the opportunities!

I like this image, Miguel. A very artistic presentation of the bushtit. A sharply focused subject, complementary OOF background, and interesting perch. Congrats!

I like the comp you chose, the perch, the BG and the position of the Bushtit. All looks great Miguel!

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Great to hear they are using some of their native trees planted by you!
Lovely specie, nice composition and with great soft light and fine details.
