    Another high key beauty. I love the details and colors. The gently curved branches with leaf buds add interest. TFS

    Looks good! An often overlooked species because of its' abundance, but I enjoy them and their early spring songs. Sharp, well exposed, and good high-key treatment. I like how the tail closes the loop and creates a "U" between the twigs (and without touching).

    Great look at this ubiquitous species. Good pose, perfectly placed on the perch. Nice spring leaves. I'd be tempted to tone down the highlights on the perch branches and twigs just a bit. A nice high-key presentation. (My personal preference is for a 1 px border on an image like this.) As common as this guy is, I don't believe I've ever gotten a shot of one as nice as this.

    A very nice high-key treatment. The perch makes for a really unique image; its the perfect suggestion of spring with the sprouting leaves. The wide
    composition works well.
