This was a quick shot as this Chickadee was moving around in the branches. I love this profile.

Certainly is a chickadee pose. I miss these guys. I think the photo held up pretty well considering the large crop you made. It appears to me that you missed the focus just by a hair. The sharpest looks to be on the back which is tack sharp. The head and eye looks just a bit soft. Tough situation with a bird that hardly stands still for an instant. Thanks for sharing with us.

A backyard favorite. Well done for the 3 sec you probably had to take this.

Thanks for the comments, yes it was a quick shot and the distance was too far to focus on the eyes properly, heck I couldn't even see the eye hardly..

A classic Chickadee pose captured really nicely ,you did well seeing as what hyper little birds these are.
