A beauty, John. I like everything, perfect perch with the lichens, nice color and detail on the bird, pure background. Thank you for sharing.

These birds are so endearing! Hard to take a bad picture of them!
Great perch and suits the titmouse perfectly.
Good pose.
I would evict that stray feather on the breast- doesn't really add much to the image.
IQ looks good!
Did you apply NR to the perch? The lichens look very smoothed out to my eye.
I would also add a point of black to the neutrals on the bird.
Nice image.

Great perky pose with that erect crest. Good perch, nice BG. Yes to losing that stray feather.

Nope. Rain all morning. Perch is soaked.

Good alert pose, nice perch.
