    Pleasing colors and composition. I would probably lose the OOF branch on the left and the vertical downward branch on the right.

    John, Don't you just love Chickadees? I've gotten them to climb on my hand. I'll have the camera set up, turn my back, and look again and there will be one perched right on top of the flash. You've got a really tidy shot here, capturing all the subtle colors and tones they come with. The eye, always a bit of treasure hunt, peeks out without popping out. As for the extra twigs, to me that's debatable unless you're trying to replicate a studio. Is this background natural or are you adding something? Like the subject, this is just plainly good! Dave

    I'd suggest simply looking for a cleaner, more attractive perch since you have sharpness, EXP, and image design mastered ...

    Solid image, another successful set-up. Great pose, eye contact, and techs. Agree about the OOF bits of the branch, but that's easily corrected next time around. Hopefully you
    can replicate this curious look.
