Very sweet shot. I like to gentle tone; it fits the subject.

Beautiful, Sandy. Looks like it belongs on a Christmas ornament. I really like the pastel color palate.

Really nice. A very delicate composition, in colors and in texture.

Very nicely captured and composed, Sandy. I really like the habitat and complementary lines that go with the vertical pose. I notice a strong blue-green tinge to the bushtit. Not sure if this is just reflection from the surrounding leaves, but it makes the bird look a little unnatural. JMHO.

Beautiful shot. The delicate nature of the bird and flora compliment each other nicely. Reminds me of Japanese art work. Very well presented.
