    Great detail and spot on exposure. Almost can see this better off as a vertical crop, however I do like this crop as well. I believe he saw you too, great "eye contact" wonder if you can lighten that side of his head a tad more.

    Love the way his top foot wrapped around the tree growth.

    Nice catch...Both you and the bird. Love the BG the sharpness and the colors of this little one. If possible it maybe better to off center the subject by adding some space to the left.

    Nice capture with food in the beak. I like the colors and head angle, also nice sharpness throughout. I would prefer a vertical crop like Chad suggested as I'm not a big fan of centering the subject in a square crop. Of course, that's just a matter of personal preference. I'm sure it's cropped just fine for others. TFS

    I like the eye contact, together with the tilted HA. Well exposed on the darker plumage, and thats a fair size grub he's caught. This comp does work, and agree, a vertical would look good too.

    Beautiful shot. Love the BG and the caterpillar and the direct eye contact. Exposure is good. Can you post it as a vertical for us to see?

    Very nice shot I love the pose and the caterpillar.
    The image appears just a tiny bit noisy but not much.
    The white collar looks as though you may have had a little trouble taming the highlights????
