Very nice Captured pose of this Starling Mike. Your focus is sharp, feather details are crisp and eye clarity is superb.
Nice exposure and fine stop action.
Great Capture Mike :)

A quite grand and beautiful bird photo presented here! Do you know what kind of bird it is!. Your slightly off-centre composition works very well. Sharpness and exposure are both good. Well done!

Oh wow.... focus perfection - the detail of this little birdy is just amazing. Grand natural colors over the frame as well with fabulous lighting. Only thing I might have done is given equal space to left frame as there is on the right - get birdy's eye middle frame. I see why you wanted the stem and needles to the right... they are perfect. Still a sixer in my opinion though!!! Thanks for sharing!

The pose is wonderful and so expressive. Excellent sharpness of the bird and a beautiful soft green background. Also, a very nice catchlight in the eye.

Lovely shot! I like that is focus on the bird..who is striking a great poise ! The background and details of the limbs really add to the flavor of just the bird. This is so well done! The details of the feathers are fabulous. Well done!

He is saying " oh its hard to be humble!"lolol. The angle of the shot of the proud bird is great. The capture of the light is great. The clarity is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

I have seen a lot of shots of birds and enjoy everyone. Bit I would dare to say that this is one of the finest focused shots I have seen period. The cock of his head, the offset crop and the soft background makes this one a true winner. Just perfect.

Good picture , very good coloring and very nice lighting and details and even getting light in the eye , but I feel that your centering of the bird is to far to the left if it was more to the right the bird would be having more of a direction ..
