Very well done. I like the perch and the pose a lot. BG is nice and smooth.

Very nice to have both the bird and the perch all in focus Howard. I might be tempted to tone down the bright area on the right side of the image.

I like the soft clean background, the sharp eye and the feather detail. Great shot!

Nice image. I like the "active" composition here that captures the impending motion.

Another typical Cheek gem. Everytime I turn around you seem to be winning another contest. Just saw your award winning orchard oriole in TPWD magazine. Congratulations!

Another piece of art, Howard. Again I'm undecided about the small leaf bottom left corner.
