    What's not to like about these cheery little guys. Love their vocalizations. Maybe a little over sharpened for posting.
    Straight size reduction looked quite a bit softer. Never raised his crown for me.

    Brakes on, I'm parking here for awhile to enjoy your image Jack! Wonderful capture, sharp, endearing, details are wonderful, and i like the wispy BG, reminds me of how the zoom around. Nice work.

    Nice of this guy to give you that head-cocked side eye pose allowing great view of the crest, even though not raised. If over sharpened, only slightly. Love the pose, details, colors and BG. Especially love that eye. TFS

    I like the typical curious kinglet pose. Good colours, and yes, I find it oversharpened as posted...and perhaps a touch contrasty. Super image though, these guys barely ever stop!

    I like the cocked head.
    I find bird a bit tight in the frame and would loosen the crop.
    I have yet to get a good shot of this species so well done on getting this non stop mover.

    Sharpening mentioned, so I'll just add my admiration for this little fella and the lovely head pose

    Beautiful little bird, nicely shown. I agree with others regarding the sharpening, easy fix for a lovely image. Thank you for sharing, Jack.
