I was happy to find some Juvenile S Phoebe that were quite cooperative at letting me get close to them.
Really not much of a perch but some dry brush in a field but I do like the similiar colors in the bg.

Lovely gentle image, Jim. I really like the complementary colours of bird and BG. I might trim a little from the right to movere the birds head from the vertical centreline. Well done.

Sharpness, BG, head angle and composition look very good, just the blacks of the tail are blocked.

very beautiful James, love the BG, perch and details

[Ramon M. Casares]

Light, pose, perch, BG, colores, detail and sepcies.. all is A+ to me. I would try a different crop, maybe a little less room from the top and from the right. Congratulations!

[Ofer Levy]

So nice and elegant! Maybe just open up the dark tail.

That clean OOF BG rocks. I also like the pose and sharp detail. Lovely image James.

I love the complimentary bg James. Excellent execution. I think I agree with the cropping suggestion to get it a bit off-center.

[Fabs Forns]

Neat monochromatic palette with good composition, clean BG, head angle and EXP control. Nice perch too!
