This is an exquisite palette of fall colors, making the grays of the bird stand out nicely. Great look-back pose and handsome comp. It may be my eyes, but there could be just the tiniest hint of sharpening crunchiness on parts of the mocker.

Hi - Nice - the setting looks like an artificially arranged still life - especially with the curving arc of the grasses at upper left. I think I also see what Bill is talking about regarding the sharpness of the bird.

Excellent image of mocking bird in habitat.Very nice environment; with berries,water drops on grass and composition.
I like the look back pose and colors.

Regards,
Satish.

Nice looking back pose and nice sorrounidn, Mitch. I think the bird is slightly over sharpened, at least it was my first impression.

Thanks Bill, Gareth, Satish, Nico and Karl. Yes, a bit less sharpening next time...
