Exceptional DOF, focus and detail. The colors are lighting are very good. Details in the feathers are excellent. Great initial impact.

Great shot Willie. Striking bokeh here. Not allowing any distractions whatsoever. Brilliant fine focus and your detail is razorsharp once again. Exposure is very good. Great dynamic range. Larity of the feathers once again is astounding. Great technique to get these guys so well.

The neutral colors of the bird work very well with the soft green background. I love how clear and crisp this photo is! You can see so much texture on the bird's wings. The sunflower seed is a very interesting touch to the photo. Very nice!

You are becoming expert in taking these wonderful closeups of the birds. This is pretty good. Couple of things that can be corrected easily: 1. Crop a bit from the top; 2. Adjust some highlights as the circled area has blown out highlights. Well done and thanks for sharing.
