Vermilion Flycatcher

Different image, closer. Background is gray, bird stands out from background. The trees and bushes she lives in and around are all gray this time of year. I think she is really beautiful in this background. To me, the background looks better than the stick did.

An excellent combination of Winter habitat and subject. The Vermillion Flycatcher seems a bit soft. It could use just a small amount of selective sharpening.

Nice bird in a nice environment with good composition It seems a bit soft at least on my monitor.

I like this one, Barbara. I'd be tempted to selectively brighten the eye a bit to see if it will pop better, but other than that, I have no nits.

Works nicely. Only nit I find my eyes wanting more brightness/detail on the head and esp eye.
