This is a delightful pose, David. Fine background and perch as usual. Techs are also spot on.

We have lots of these here and this one does look like a baby.  A nice shot with good detail and color.  The branch is a little heavy in relation to the Bird but it makes up for that be being diagonal and cradling the Bird.  Nicely done, David!

HI David
The Pine Siskin looks great.  I love the puffed out feathers and head turn.

I really like how the branch curves through the frame. Nice work David!

Really nice shot, David.  Great detail, and I love that perch, with the nice curve.
