Yes, a lovely shot. I'm not familiar with all the tech things that are written. What lens were you using? 500mm? At any rate, great shot.

Lovely setup, perfect pose with the raised foot. Beautiful bg.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Love this. From the thumb I was sure the cone would be too big but upon viewing the larger image it is just right - especially with the "interaction" pose of the foot pulling it closer ( seemingly) and the head looking down to peek for food. Love perch's texture and flaring greens in the corner. If anything I'd blend in the harder edged curving streak in the BG at bottom.

Clever bird and clever image! Love the color palette, the behavior and the environment. Techs look great!

[Grace Scalzo]

what a fantastic image….the thumbnail does not do it justice. Great feeding behavior and I like how he's holding on to the pine cone.

[Joe Galkowski]

Nice image! The foot position makes it for me. Great BG and the set is perfect.

[Binu John]

Beautiful setup, bird, pose and light! Love the NG and perch too! Well done!

All looks good Pamela, a fine shot. Regards, Ian

Hi Pamela, the set-up works well and I like the arching branch. BKG compliments the image, but agree with Daniels point of the 'curve'. Having the raised leg on the cone makes it for me.
