This morning I found this little one flitting and feeding from branch to branch, usually hidden in the foliage. But I did capture a couple clear images.

Nice pose and composition! Head looks a bit soft.

[Satish Ranadive]

Excellent image.Nice pose.

[arash_hazeghi]

it's a nice pose and light but the bird is OOF.

[Jonathan Ashton]

I think the problem may be that the camera focussed on the grass as opposed to the bird??

[Rhys Marsh]

Nice lighting, agree that the head is OOF, are you using the center AF point? Seems that the camera picked the wing and/or grass to focus on.

Thanks to all for your helpful critiques. And, yes, Rhys, I thought I was using the "center AF point".
