A sure sign of fall

[Grace Scalzo]

Weather on Long Island lately has been horrible. I got out the other evening just for an hour or so and found one little kinglet. These birds are so quick and I had little light, so quite a challenge.

Nice and sharp. Bayberries? Bad luck with the foot behind the berries. Good head angle and nice image design with the bird well to the right looking into the frame.

i see a little noise in tha BKG, smoothing it can make the back better, good work

I like it a lot, A Ruby crowned?
I agree, a bit of NR would improve it, but I like the berries and the comp and the BG colors.

Good job getting this little one, Grace, they sure are hard. Love the berries and the splotches of color in the BG that speak of fall. Perfect comp and sharpness.
Weather has been horrible in upstate NY too, i know what you mean!

Lovely detail and like the BG...I would take it a touch lighter and take some off the top and bottom...Great perch

Grace,
This is really nice. I really like the reds in the BG that let us know fall is here. The perch is great. I like the berries. No nits from me,

Great fall feel to this. Nice find and job well done considering the conditions.

[Nico Steenberg]

Great eye contact and comp with a killer bg. Like That perch. A super IMG !!

Real nice shot. Great pose and excellent feather detail. Good use of the flash. Well done.
