This is the female - far more approachable and inquisitive than the male. It has its own understated beauty.

Such an elegant little bird! Great exposure and nice composition I like the tilt of it's head and how you can see it's tail

"understated beauty" - exactly my thoughts here. The subtle colors are very appealing to me, and the composition is quite nice.

Look's like the bird is giving you the once over, wonderful detail and sharpness where it counts, well done.

Very nice - like the perky pose, eye contact, crop and smooth background too.

Wonderful! Excellent feather detail and a nice clean background. The perch works well for the birds size. You managed some good eye contact and the colors are spot on. Well done. :toast: :toast:

Hi Rob,
Very nice details,lighting and pose. The bird really stands out from the darker background. I understand it's the photographers choice but I would have cloned out that OOF bottom branch.
