Nice one May. The detail is great and the background really compliments this little guy well. I like the way he is perched and seemingly leaning forward like he is just about to take off.

The background is a maple tree still full of last year's seed pods.

Fun little birds for winter, this is a sweet shot May. I'm headed to northern MN today, hopefully to find these and some other northern winter birds.

sweet shot, May--great pose, comp, and bg. really nice detail.

Arizona's first two Common Redpolls ever showed up in the last two weeks--after 5 tries, I got to see one yesterday (but no pics)--what a beautiful little finch!
