Black-capped Chickadee

The BG on this one was shaded snow so it at least has an even tone.

Gary:
You have good details on the bird with a great head angle. You might want to give it more room to the front of the bird.
Congrats.

HI Gary - Pose and HA are good - agree wit Oz some more room in front would be good.
Well done :)

Hi Garry,
This is a very nice capture...you display sharp details and good color rendition with a good head angle and sharp eye...as far as composition, (bird placement in frame) you have three possibilities...leaving the subject as is; dead center and doing a pano crop; or adding canvas to the left, to give him more room in front, or going vertical...:cool:

Nice photo Gary. Lots of nice detail in both the whites and blacks. Although I think the whites may have a bit of a red cast in them. I like the idea of a pano crop. It might look nice. Good show.

Good looking Chickadee in a very pleasing photograph. I go along with Gus and the pano.

Thanks for sharing

Great comments and a good looking image !!!

Space wise as Oscar suggest you might slide the bird back so there is more room up front than to the rear. Gus has some good suggestions and would pick the move as mentioned and more of a pano.

Thanks all for the comments and input. I recut this one with more canvas to the right, it does seem more balanced thank you.
