Hi Jeff, nice capture of this little bird and I applaud your courage in using an unorthodox crop. I like it a lot. Nice job on the exposure, with nice whites and blacks in the same image - always a challenge. I see a bit of noise in the bg, might consider a bit more NR there. Excellent color rendition!

Nice job Jeff. I like everything about this image: detail, crop, exposure. TFS

Love the vertical perch and the intent look on the bird's face--very unique. Nice shot!
Thanks Cathy and Andrew, this is a difficult species to capture IMO, being so small and vey fast They are always moving and have white and black bodies driving the meter crazy to boot.
