Sweet, sweet light, wonderful perch, EXP spot on, sharp and killer BG. Congrats. Is BG natural or part of setup? TFS

Love that golden background, and the perch is really attractive. Exposure and details look great, I only wish for a slight bit more profile so we could see the tail a bit better. But this is still a really nice frame as is!

Excellent close up detail and nice BG. A vertical would look nice.

Gotta love the chickadees and their friendly demeanour! Fun to setup too. I actually like the few misplaced feathers on the chest here. Yes about the tail as per Dorian, but good stuff overall.
