Oh boy did you say something to ruffle his feathers? Lol. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The angle of the shot of this ticked off bird is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

Comment from btowngirl


He's such a cutie, all ruffled. He seems to have a personality in this shot, head slightly cocked, intense little eye. Nice DOF with soft green background and the diagonal works well.

Comment from Browncat


A charming little fellow that you have captured in a clever posture. His downy feathers prove his tender age and he even looks very cautious about leaving that solid rail. Nice colors, cropping, and overall photo composition.

You always use THE perfect titles Eileen. This is indeed one puffy little guy isn't it!

Spot on crisp focus. Not only is he beautifully detailed from tip to toe but you've even managed to portray the puffiness of those belly feathers. Wonderful. Lovely, natural color and fantastic job w/ the eye- which has got to be one of the craziest eyes of all birds.

Nice dof....the softly diffused background is a perfect frame for this fellow. Nicely put together all the way around Eileen....such nice work here it looks like this guy posed for you.

Comment from El-mundo


I always find these birds so funny as we don't have them here in the UK and they always look like they've just got out of bed and are late for work. A lovely, well timed photo of this one looking wide eyed and alert, taken with great clarity and in good soft natural lighting, capturing the detail finely. Good DOF also serving as a nice contrast - good work!

This is a lovely shot of the bird! Wonder what he so intently looking at!:)You have framed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

Comment from bpellephoto


I guess attitude counts for a lot.

Very good camera settings with minimal post capture adjustments - well done.

Excellent detail of the foreground and main subject with a nice soft background bokeh.

All aspects of the bird are well defined and sharp.

I like the off center framing of this composition.

Well done ... B-)) Bob

I'm not a big fan of these birds but you might change my mind. Great details in the ruffled feathers. I like the railing he sitting on and the blurred background . lighting is wonderful.Color is soft. Very nice ,thanks for sharing
