Everyone deserves a break. Searching for food is straining work. The photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the sharpness of detail and the realism of color. The bird is perfectly placed within the frame. How the wood is curving through the frame is pleasant to the eyes of the viewer. The composition is balanced.

This is realty nice photo, with a very appealing color harmony. The composition is balanced and very well/or nicely focused.
A great one to use as a subject for a pairing or drawing.

Thank you for allowing me to review your photo.

Have a great day, cheers.

Up in Michigan we have several "fly catchers" including the Eastern Kingbird that I posted recently. They are not nearly as pretty as this guy and are definitely not curious about people. A very fine shot with excellent detail in the bird and a great perch.

What a pretty little bird! I like it's pose on the Branch and the position of the feet!
Well focused, this image is sharp and clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones are natural.
The feathers are well defined, I see good detail in the face and Beak, especially appreciate the clear eye!
Well composed against the soft background . Well presented!

Delightful image Mary and another great image of you ever expanding portfolio, excellent detail and light control, the background is not distracting which many are this makes you concentrate more on the main subject! I think I will call you the bird lady from now on!

Excellent capture, Mary, showing this pretty little Grey Fantail searching for insects. How he manages to balance on his tiny little legs is a mystery! Very good lighting and focus showing a nice clear image. Great composition. Suzanne

Everyone deserves a break from time to time! Your fine composition captures a nice looking nature scene. Like the eye gleam and delicate looking legs. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well taken!
