This is a great capture of the pretty little chickadee. I like that you've not shown all of him. Lighting and focus very good showing excellent detail in his colours and feather markings. The dark background makes a perfect frame. Very nice composition.

Here I thought chickadee had a corner on all the chickadees posted at this site. I hope our Canadian friend does not take issue with this photo.

I do not think that she will for two reasons. 1. She is a nice woman 2. You posted a terrific shot. The focus is super sharp as usual. You have a very nice pose. The photo is nicely presented.

Why can't I just for once find something wrong with your photo. Would be easier to find something to fill my review with. LOL This is just an excellent shot as usual where everything works. Good and sharp focus, good light and nice colors. Nicely composed with good balance. (Perhaps I should give you 2 stars by mistake. Would have liked to see your face then. LOL)

Comment from AlanC
A very close detail shot of the bird. Nice job but only sad that I could not see the other part of the bird. This looked like beautiful little fellow who has a song or two to offer. The details on the bird is indeed immaculate and the eye is intense. A very good captured.

Thanks! I show the head on birds I showed this much because of the detail in the feathers! If you get much bigger you lose the detail.

Nice picture of the chickadee. The whole picture itself is crisp, clear and looks great. Thanks for sharing.

A very nice shot Willie. I like the way you have framed this one. Good sharpness and nice soft colours. Its quite an attractive looking bird. (much prettier than the Turkey Buzzards I've been seeing in WV!) I think your lighting works well too. Enjoyed.

Thank you so very much! There is a lot of difference form a vulture to a chickadee!

Comment from Max Giddings
Just as all your close-ups of birds are technically extraordinary, this is no exception. Keep up the wonderful work.
