    I'm amazed at how these little ones can stand on cactus like that.

    Like the pose and comp. The sharpness is excellent on this. It must have some pretty tough calluses on those feet!

    Hi James. Super sharp, and the color is gorgeous. Nice composition. I think it could use a little more space on the left for the bird to look into.
