Hi Glenn, what a sweet looking individual you got here. The alert pose is superb - I love how it is perched parallel to the branch! If you are willing to part with some of the colour on the perch I'd be tempted to take some away at right.

I love this as posted. Just a great composition and the touch of color in the branch up in the right hand corner I think really adds a lot to this image and a beautiful contrast with the BG. Superb, alert pose on this little titmouse and excellent detail and eye contact . The touch of moss is a nice bonus for me. Love this image Glenn!! Congratulations.

Beautifully done, Glenn. The posture of the bird makes the image for me.

Great pose, perch, BG and details. I would work on the catchlight, it looks a bit odd.
