Sweet chickadee image, Allen. I love the lichen on the perch and the calling pose.

Terrific Chickadee image, Allen. The background is wonderful. I love the pose and the call…maybe a common bird, but hard to capture because they’re so quick. Well done.

Such a cute bird on a cute branch with an incredible background. The limited and matching colour scheme is wonderful.

Very nice. I like the pose with the chickadee calling out. The branch and lichen on the LH side add to the comp that helps reinforce to where the bird is headed. I like this one as presented and would not change anything…Jim

This is gorgeous! The focus is perfect, the background is like a studio backdrop, the branch is perfect. It doesn’t matter one bit if it’s a common bird or not, if the photo is not common.
Congratulations!

Allen: excellent capture of the bird on an attractive perch against an appealing background. There’s a lot to like about this little singer.
