This is a beautiful image, Joe!

Love the presentation, colours and detail on this tiny bird. Wonderful pose, great HA and positioning of the wings is perfect IMO. Superb BG.

Such a pleasure to view, thank you for sharing,

Kind regards

Good clean image pleasing colours and interesting wing position, sharp where it needs to be, I like it.

Very nice Joe....The detail on the bird is really good, with a nice flight pose...Very clean at ISO 6400......Well captured and processed..

This is great. Ditto all the positives from others. Only suggestion would be to move the bird down in the frame as it's very close to the top of the frame now. You'd also minimize that darkest, lower right corner if you moved the bird down a bit.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I had the same thought as Dorian, but otherwise such a beautiful setting and image.

Thanks everyone for viewing and commenting. I heard the suggestions to lower the bird in the frame and worked on the image to show that suggestion. Here is a repost.
