    Finally getting back to photography after a busy end of the summer.
    This one taken at my feeder. Thanks to the Sapsucker for providing the perch.

    Great pose and perch. You handled the WHITEs of the bark (birch?) well. Like the look back head angle and image design. Making your text smaller would make the images easier to enjoy :).

    Hi Bonnie, lovely bird, great exposure, details, sharpness, and BG. I find the perch a bit dominant and would suggest taking some offtge bottom. Loi

    Lovely design to the image, the HA is nice and the exposure looks spot on
    the dash of green to the BG really makes it special.

    What a lovely image.
    I love the looks of the blacks (made even better by the fact you were at ISO 2000!)
    Great BG and love the pose.
    A keeper for sure,
    Gail
