I like the upside down pose and turn of the head in your subject.

I too like the upside down pose and eye contact, Chuck. The colors of the female really work with the greens of the pine as well. Maybe just a bit more sharpening on the bird?

Typical pose and setting for the species. That's one tough looking bird!

Like your previous post I like the piney perch and the cones of this shot and also the way she is eyeing you but I like the first post better because of the shooting angle. Both shots are nice.

Great setting and nice pose from this hard working bird, Chuck.

Great eye contact and a classic setting for this cone eater. I'd apply a little selective sharpening to her face.
