    Wow guy, really a wonderful picture. The background is not to bright and is not in competition with the Junco. Also great pose and composition and the exposition is right on the spot. See you!

    You really nailed this one Guy! A classic pose with a twist (the raised foot). Great sharpness and BG too.

    The warm BG is ver nice, also the comp, pose are look nice.

    The only problem in my eyes is the strong light; I would tone down the perch so that it looks more subdued.

    Now, I'd be proud to have this one. The little raised foot is a plus!

    Hi Guy!

    Really nice background makes the bird really stand out. Very nice detail, and the retracted leg makes me smile! Can't offer any improvement suggestions, I like it a lot.

    Salut Guy, very nice! Another example of how beautiful our common birds are. I think you have captured the species very well here. I think the lighting is excellent and not too harsh for me.

    As above, I like everything about this one. The light does not look to bad to me. Love the perfect head angle and the raised foot. And of course the BKGR. Also, great that the tail did not merge with the perch.

    Very nice work, Guy. I love the simplicity of the image. Love the background, pose and head angle. If you don't tone down the whole perch, toning down the lichen might be nice. It's hard to find improvements in this well made image.

    Great pose! The BG color goes well with the subject in this nice, simple composition. Well done.
