Stunning image Raymond with excellent detail, pose and eye contact. Love the composition and killer BG.

This is one of my favorite backyard visitors, I really like the unusual angle you captured here. Also the colors and textures in the tree are very nice.

[Steve Canuel]

I like the comp and BG. Nice look at that iron grip they have as well.

I especially like the open space on LHS in the direction the bird's looking, as well as the fine detail in the tree.

The Downy's focus, color, exposure and pose are excellent.

Nice balanced shot Ray with great fall coloured BG.

I nlike the whole thing Ray.....the only thing I might have done differently would have been to stop down for a little more DOF?

Love this shot, Ray. Everything works together on this shot.
