Great light and detail, eye contact, catch light and HA all help to make this a beautiful image. On the down side, bait tight vertically. TFS.

nice detail and exposure control. Good head turn and nice clean background. I wish for a bit more space around the bird, and either a natural perch or a good view of a beat-up rustic next box always looks better than fresh plywood.

Thanks for the comments Fabs & Matthew. I will try to pull back a bit on the crop and see what it looks like. I have a few photos of this little one on a tree that I will try to post tomorrow.
