Very artistic background. The bird is sharp & I wonder if this would be improved by cropping some on the left - I find the large plant on the left a bit distracting. Still, a very pleasing image.

Very well done! The Mockingbird is very crisp in the soft wash of plants. Great shot! Well balanced and perfect as is.

Excelente. The contrast is great. Pretty good details.
If this were mine, I would try to close out the small branch on the right!

I love this shot and it is tack sharp right down to the little whiskers below his bill. It is also very interesting because most of the background is out of focus, but the leaves on the left are not. The vivid green makes this grey bird stand out.

I love the alert pose and the bg in this one, Douglas.
Well done,

The photo really conveys that aggressive alertness of this species. Nice techs, too. Two nits: I wish the OOF leaf or stem across the tail. And I think I'd lose about 20-25% on the left side.

Very sharp and well exposed, a nice capture. I agree on the cropping but this is a minor fix.
