Lovely. Exposure, background, pose. Everything is just so nice.
This is the most common bird where I live, yet I never managed to get a satisfying image of it. They just won't hold the pose long enough at a decent spot for me to be able to react on time.
I don't know how your original image was, but I would have tried to put the bird a tiny bit lower in the frame. And I really mean tiny bit. [Am I really doing a critique of a picture taken by an ETL Mod? What's going on with me...]
Jeff, I like the HA, the diagonal perch, the BG & the techs. A great image. TFS.

PA and Andrew thanks for the feedback.
PA feel free to comment anytime and I appreciate the input, your opinion is important to me. I am always thankful to anyone who takes the time to look at my work any give me options.
Hi Jeff, this year's model is looking good as always. You get some really nice captures of these little flitters. Exposure, color, bg, etc. all looking good. I would crop from the right for a different look, featuring the little bird a bit more. Just another option, like it as presented!

Jeff,
Greetings. Great balance for detail in blacks and whites. Top notch field craft at 800mm fov, quick moving subject. I might detail/sharpen up the feet if it were mine. Good show!
Cheers,

Agree with others, techs are solid and I think the negative space is used to good effect here.
Carolina Chickadee in bright light- a real challenge but you pulled it off Jeff. I might dodge a little light into the right side of the breast. Nice BG.
Jeff - nicely done with good techs and I like the comp. I particularly like how the perch parallels the white section of the head.
TFS,
Rachel
