    I like the setting, pose, sense of motion and BG. I might lighten the eye a bit more. Keep them coming!

    Nice behavioural shot, not easy isolating these tiny birds, would of been nice to see a bit more of a head turn and catchlight in the eye.

    Nice work.

    I really like the pose and the wing position!

    HI Steve, My main wish is that the bird's head were on this side of the thistle. That would have resulted in a much better head angle.

    Hi Artie,
    I certainly agree. Oh, if it had only been more cooperative.

    Thanks

    Steve
