    One from a recent trip to my cabin. Bg may be a little busy for some but wanted to show them where the spend most of their time in our neck of the woods. White speck on throat area is snow flake (about 2 in that am 4/03, thought it was spring:confused:). Haven't posted over here in a while, spending most of my time in wildlife.

    Think I'd crop some from top and left sides. Other than that, looks pretty good.

    I agree with a little tighter crop and I am fine with the BG the Chickadee contrast nicely with the green pine needles and does not get lost in the frame.

    I agree with the crop suggestion as this would not only improve the subject placement within the frame, but also negate most of the less than ideal top left corner. You would still retain the sense of habitat you are wanting to portray. Since it is hard to make out the white spot as a snowflake I would also get rid of it. Beautiful little guy, and I like the pine needle surroundings.
