Beautiful lighting and a wonderful BG Sharon. The image appears a tad soft on my monitor around the head area. Looks lke the main focus was more on the wing and back half of the chickadee. Would love to see a slight head turn and if you do not object to cloning, the removal of the bottom twig from the branch. Many thanks for sharing and will look forward to your future posts.
Good job by Judy Lynn. I would add that with the bird's body angled away from you you needed a bit more head turn.
later and love, artie
