Taken with a Nikon D80 with a Tamron 18-270 mm VC Lens. This is in an Arboretum near my home; and this little beauty let me walk right up to within feet to get a shot.

Nice having this Northern Mockingbird be so cooperative and allowing close approach. The subject is sharp and properly exposed.
It would be a stronger image if there was some light filling in the heavily shadowed breast, and if the bird was a bit more to the right in the frame.

Nice, Richard. I like the close look at the eye,and the detail in the Mockingbird looks good. I'm seeing a bit of fringe on the edges of the perch. I also think this might work a bit better if the bird were more toward the lower right corner of the frame.

This is nice Richard. I agree with Richard Ditch's assessment. Also, if you would include a full set of image techs when you post viewers could better assess your image. Cheers.

I would consider using some curves adjustment on this one Richard, to bring out some more detail.
I agree that the bird needs more room on the left, but this has potental
