This is lovely! I find the image to be sharp and well exposed. The vertical composition displays the both the perch and birds very nicely. The thistle seeds blowing in the the wind make this image shine in my option. Very well done! Thanks for sharing.
Way to go Jim, this is very good. The yellows and whites are perfect, the BG is perfect and the composition is pleasing. I am enjoying looking at this.
That is the kind of shot I would love to get.
"Bird on a stick" plus interaction with habitat. Love the way the bird and thistle are in focus and the 2 tone background adds to overall composition.
Beautifully captured, Jim. This is an image I've seen a hundred times, but never been able to capture nearly as nicely as this. All techs handled nicely; comp lovely; and thistle in the wind a bonus.
