    Another nice diagonal composition of the spinebill Greg, this time on a different perch. Your aperture of F8 has given you good DOF and that BG is superb.
    He didn't give you such a good HA as the previous post. Merry Christmas to you also Greg - have a good one!

    Great image, the bg is perfect, and that red eye with good eye contact really makes it for me. Merry Christmas!

    Another great shot with a very nice perch. I agree that the HA of the previous image was a bit better, but this isn't bad at all. Love the colors, the clean bg, and the detail throughout. The eye on this guys is something else! I keep going back to it.

    A very beautifully composed image.
    Love the IQ and the light and the diagonal line of the perch.
    Great BG as well.
    No nits from me.
    Merry Christmas to you and yours as well,
    Gail

    Another sweet shot of this beauty. I like the comp on this one, and the HA doesn't bother me at all. Nicely done, again.

    Merry Christmas to you.
