    hahaaa , this guy needs a tree! Interesting usual clinging behavior but not from a lone branch! You must have really good bird seed John. I think the bird could have more sharpening and I wonder what vertical crop would look like..

    I like the upside down which showcases their behavior nicely. I like the clean BG, perch and sharpness. Composition wise its tempting to go vertical but I also see the merits in the composition you chose. Well done John.

    I like the comp, I would not go vertical, but I would take some
    off the right side.
    Killer pose.
    Wish the entire branch was sharp....

    Fun pose with a nice clean BG.
    I think the eye area needs to be sharpened and if the IQ allows I would love this as a vertical.
    Well done,
    Gail

    Great one! The light is spot on and the upside down pose is typical to the species which is always nice. Great exposure and details too.
    I would go for vertical as well. Especially as the branch seems a bit oof to the right.
