Nice capture out in the open, Sandy; they are skulky, brush-loving little buggers up here. Good that you got a trace of the organge crown, too.

Very nice - a good open profile and excellent background for the subject.

I've noticed you have been cropping a lot of avian images almost square lately - any special reason for doing this?

I like the low, even light on the bird and the look at part of the name-sake crown.

Very nice Sandy. Nice to see at least some of the orange crown.

Beautiful little bird. I like the simple perch. He gave you just enough head turn and there is nice light. I'm not sure about the crop. Squarish doesn't really add anything here for me.
