Very nice Caroline. Looks like a sample from an old birding guide.

I agree with the above comments, very appealing image.
Simply stunning!!
Really great image!
Love it!
Great image. My only nit is that the edges of the beak look pixelated.
Gorgeous!!!!!!
Superb, simply superb!!!

Excellent!
This is absolutely awesome.
Caroline,
Which sharpening program are you using? I'm on the threshold of purchasing a plug-in and curious what did such a nice job.
Thanks, Doug
Your Chickadee image is amazing and one that I'm sure many of us wish we had !

It's About the Journey
Greetings--as my first real post on this forum, I just have to join in and say that this is a very beautiful image -- outstanding not just for the great quality of the bird itself, but also the details of the pine cone and the 3 "rosettes" extending out of the branch. For me, those help elevate this particular image to the realm of "art."
If Artie ever created a "Birds As Art Award" for exceptionally artistic images posted on this forum, I'd nominate this one.
Concerning the observation of pixellation on the beak's edges: I see it if I stare at it hard enough, but isn't that just a result of having to "down-rez" the image to fit the forum's posting limitations? It would only bother me if I could still see it in a final print at full resolution.
WOW....This is simply wonderful. Congratulations...pat
One of the finest "fine art" bird photos I have seen. Well done!
I have photographed many Chickadees and have never seen any better than yours. It is just brilliant. Wish it were mine. Mike Tobin,,,,,Ontario, Canada

Did you convert the BG to white in PhotoShop ?
I love everything, esp. the color echo of the fir buds and cone and chickadee's flanks. But am I the only one bothered by the location of the big cone? I keep picturing a large egg being laid. I'd like to see this large picture element elsewhere in the frame to balance the subject. Given how easy it is to direct a chickadee to a precise landing point...
