Great pose and I like the contrast of the muted tones of the chickadee with the flower and bg. Well done.

Love the open beak here Sharon and the beautiful bg, I might have stopped down a bit since you had plenty of light to try and get more dof for the flower.

Very nice image. The open beak, the perch and the back ground all work really well to make this a great shot.

I like the colors and the single flower. A beautiful bird well captured.

You do not see a background color like that very often and this really makes the image standout, the chickadee has very nice detail in the larger image, very unique, well done.

Beautiful singing pose you captured Sharon. Excellent detail, background is awesome, and the bit of blooming color is great bonus. Sweet Chickadee Photo!!!

I like this one too. I feel you could use a little more light on the bird probably due to the bright bg. Such a sweet pose and the flower adds. OOPs I just noticed this is the same one I already commented on. Wow, not many new photos today
