I have had more Spotted (Thanks Bruce) Towhees come to my feeder lately than i know what to do with. So here is another attempt at one. He was just about to make the short hop to my feeder from a small piece of a redwood snag.

1/1500 @ F5.6 should shut down a little for more DOF

very nice image Chris, looks like the bg could use some noise reduction imo. I like your chioce of composition, very cool.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Pose, perch, BG and light are great! I agree regarding NR on the BG and might sharpen the perch a tad less.

[Kaushik Balakumar]

Very beautiful image - sharp & with lots of details. Liked the composition too. The BG looks pretty noisy (already mentioned by Raymond & Axel).

Hi Chris,
Great pose, nice perch, and complimentary colors. BG NR mentioned.

Perch, pose, BG, colours and details are great, I can see some noise and the light seems a bit harsh, but overall I love it! Congratulaitons!
