    Sittellas move around the woodlands in small twittering flocks and work their way over branches usually spiralling downwards.

    Great details and exposure. The perch, BG, pose and eye-contact are amazing. The web on the perch is an added attraction.

    Sharp, well exposed typically dynamic sittella pose and a great complementary background. The cobwebs are a nice bonus.
    I like this image a lot, Rob, but I do wish that the the perch did not obscure so much of the bird.

    Oh wow, I love this image! Killer eye and matching wing colour. Looks like a member of the "nuthatch" family. Awesome comp, pose, perch, and BG - and the techs are just about perfect. Thanks for sharing this beauty!

    Beautiful capture, intense sharpness on the eye. Although the web is appealing, I'm inclined to crop off the bottom a bit, emphasizing the bird's horizontal position.

    Super alert pose, as if he's just about to take off. I like the comp, and the little guy is nice and sharp. Good to see the right foot dangling over the perch. Well captured Rob.

    Super sharp and great job with exposure. Focus around eye is spot on. No FF issues here.

    This is superb, exposure, sharpness, killer BG, webs, soft colors and comp, all contribute to an amazing image.
    My only wish is too see the tail as well, and if it were parallel to the perch... that would have been perfect.

    I like the framing as is. BG is superb, great HA and super subject. A fast mover too! :)

    Razor sharp! The eye does it for me. I like it, but wish we could see the tail portion.
