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.

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.
