    This has a nice backlit quality to it, Allen.
    Very nice use of aperture at f10. Sharp throughout.
    The subtle BG color suits Junco's.
    I would maybe tone down the highlights on the underside of the tail feathers.

    Sweet on all counts. SH and EXP excellent. Undertail looks fine to me. Slight crop left and bottom. Sharpened and lightened face. Killer BKGR.

    Nice, simple portrait with a good looking subject and BG. I like the touch of lightening on the face in the RP.

    Definitely fits the theme. Very well done on choice of perches and bg. Pose is engaging. I might continue with the additional sharpening by Artie to draw out more detail on the side.

    I like the pose, perch and BG. Arthurs repost is an improvement. Well done Allen!

    Lovely image and great background, pose, and perch! I agree that face lightening and sharpening improves an already great image.
