    Love it! great exposure, I like the composition and the uncomplicated yet natural background. The detail in all plumage is excellent.
    (Is that a creeping willow he is perched on? If so it is worth returning but with a macro lens - satin silk moths).

    A fine image of a fine looking little bird. Exposure and detail are great as is the BG.

    Everything looks very good, I just wish for a bit better head angle (it's not bad, it just could be better). I'd also patch out a few of the specks on the face. Very well done, and quite appealing.

    As I stared at this image a few seconds I realize the OOF branch in the LLC of the frame could be slightly distracting. But that's a very small point indeed. Love everything else about this image. Very well done! RAZOR sharp.
