This was taken in the fall. The BG was OOF fall leaves and brick in the distance. All C&C welcome.

I like the classic pose, sharpness, soft light and angle. I wish the bird were angled toward you.

[Arsdel Fluesmeier]

Very nice pose. The fact that it is not looking directly at you does not bother me.

[Dan Busby]

A beauty Jim. Makes me want to spend more time in my back yard trying to get one this good! Love the BG. Great exposure and sharpness. A head tilt toward us would provide that contact and be more engaging.

love the colours and trailing foot ... a bit of head turn would have been nice but it's still a lovely image

[Suzanne Huot]

I would be happy with this sharp image head turn or not as they dont stay still long ,

[Chris van Rooyen]

Lovely colours and sharpness, and superb background. I really enjoy this image.

[Arthur Morris]

Love the BKGR and the pretty much dorsal view. A squeak might have gotten the bird to look back at you enough to get the head square to the back of the camera (which is exactly what you needed here).

[James Salywoda]

A beautiful bird sweet bg just wished you had some eye contact.
