Very warm and fuzzy!
Wonderful detail, soft colours, and great pose + BG.
Great errant feather on the twig too!
A bit of levels adjustment of the eye would bring out a bit more detail - then it's perfect!

I, too, like the look and feel of this image. Nice background; nice perch; nice pose; great color. What's not to like? Excellent.

Lovely capture, Jerry. Nicely sharp, the the errant feather on the lower branch is very cool. If it were mine, I'd play with Levels just a bit to try and capture the richer blue of this handsome male. It looks a bit washed out.

A beautiful and subtle image, Jerry. I like the nice lines in the soft bg and the relatively monochromatic image with the splash of blue from the bird. The rather pensive looking pose fits with the overall tone of the image. Excellent work.

I agree with the prior comments, Jerry. What I like is the beautiful blue bird against the soft light tan bg. Just a great combination. devil

Jerry, this is a wonderful little pensive, pastel bluebird. Nice simple frame with nice warm BG, perch and especially colors and detail in the BB. The stems in the BG give a nice sense of the setting.
