Compared with my previous Junco shot, I like the background better and there is still some interest in the perch, but the Junco (for lack of a better word) somehow doesn’t seem as dynamic.

Overall, a fine shot - particularly at that high ISO! Everything looks spot on, and nice color in the Junco.

Very cool image, Allen. I like the background and love the perch. The Junco’s pose might seem a little static, but that’s a normal pose for them. Wow, Topaz DeNoise really did clean that up. Well done.

A nice shot of the Junco with excellent detail, Allen. I do prefer your earlier shot because I think the perch works better in that one and the head turn gives the bird a bit more personality. It has a more dynamic feel than this one.
