Well posed and perched, good detail and well handled darks and lights. The soft light was a big help. I don't think you really needed flash.

Very nice shot, David. We've been hearing them, but I haven't seen one yet this year. I like the head turn and pose and the detail is excellent as is the smooth background.

Really nice detail in this David. I think the vertical perch works in this case because of the body position of the Grosbeak. Never seen one of these but I'd like to. Sweet background too.

A beautiful bird, David, and I just love the pose, and that sweet background. To me the soft light is perfect. If there is any detail missing from this gorgeous bird, I don't know where it would be! The head turn, and that perch just makes the shot.
