Wow, this is pretty! Excellent pose and perch. and the BG colours really set the bird off. The BG might be just a tad bright, as it competes a little with this cute bird.
Great find and very well-done!

That is one awesome background, Allen. The chickadee gave you a wonderful head turn and I love the old blackberry cane as a perch. Beautiful image.

I agree, the BG is really nice Allen, but I think maybe too nice to show off the chickadee well. You may want to desaturate just a little bit of the colorful areas adjacent to the chickadee to make it stand out more. Great techs, just a thought.

Wonderful catch Allen. Such a cute bird and great to see him/her on the sticker stalk like this. I like the BG but perhaps a tad of desaturation would be an improvement. Well done.
