    Default A perched Bushtit

    My yard is finally starting to produce :) I recently planted 7 native trees and the birds have noticed. The bushtits, in particular, are now around most of the day.

    I had some flowering perches set up, but these guys decided they really wanted to land on the natural perch. So I went with the flow and moved around to get this capture.

    This is fabulous! I love the strong vertical lines, the muted colors and the sweet and sharp bird. Very artistic presentation.

    A great shot ,the composition works great for me as does the slightly OOF tail which suggests motion, bet they don't sit still very long, nearly forgot the BG is just superb.

    Very bold composition and all the better for it, nice use of the vertical perch, detail and background spot on as well

    This is visually quite pleasing. I love all the square angles you got here. Awesome BG too. Way to go adapting to the opportunities!

    I like this image, Miguel. A very artistic presentation of the bushtit. A sharply focused subject, complementary OOF background, and interesting perch. Congrats!
