What an awesome up close tight framed and focally refined capture of this tufted titmouse! I love the shallow depth of field and surrounding tones that isolates and compliments your subject, the precision of detailing found in his plumage as well as the rich light that affords us to appreciate his beauty. Lovely capture.

Wow! Willie I would have given you 6 stars for this one if I had them available. This is just beautiful. I love that you have cropped it so nice and close and lighting and detail in his little feathers is gorgeous.

Initial impact:4.
Composition:4.
Lighting:4.
Color:4
Storytelling:4.
Focus:3 and a half.
Nice full frame photo which the D.O.F is difficult. Here you have managed to throw the background out of focus(good) but the depth of focus on the main subject is on the near part in and on the far part out.

Willi, excellent shot. Wonderful contrast and color. The bird is stunning and the seed in the beak an added bonus. Nicely captured.
