This female was gathering yew bush berries last weekend. I like the contrast with the BG but wish it wasn't quite so busy with the branches.

I like the frame of the branches
The focus on this one is tough to nail. The tail is sharp but the head a little soft. Good capture none the less

You take them as you get them John and you produced a really nice image. I especially like the naturalness of this birds colors.

I like this a lot! Some additional sharpening to the head would help, and - although I don't usually clone much out - in this case I'd clone everything out except the 2 branches that intersect the bird. It will be a bit of work, but I think well worth it.
