Beautiful Chickadee photo, tough to get as they are never still for me.
Nice focus on the bird and perch and at f7.1 about as much Dof as possible at your distance.
Since this is a setup, I might back up a bit to get the tail in focus if you have the opportunity again
with these little guys.

Pretty much perfect. I would not worry one iota about the o-o-f tail. Love the bird, the BKGR, and the perch. I'd prefer 3X2 to the boxy look here.

Suprlative. Great perch, BG, techs. Diagonal perch is a +

So very sweet Jim. Love the simple pose of this very cute bird, nice perch, good exposue and killer BG. Wonderful to have such attractive birds visiting your garden Jim.

Hi Jim, well exposed, and love the roundness of this fellow. The perch has lots of character, and what a sweet BG.

Very nice chickadee image! I love the cloudy lighting, great perch with a bit of colour, and a beautiful BG. I'm OK with the DOF too.

Lovely solid portrait of this sprite. The light quality rendered good detail in throughout the tonal range of the subject.
Still, I wonder if a little kiss of flash might have jazzed up the light on the subject just a little...
Perch is sized nicely with nice character throughout.
