Allen, I love the color palette in this one with all of the rich browns and buffs. Great look and detail from the bushtit, nice thorny perch, and beautiful complimentary BG. I also like the little dew beads along the spider webs in the close up view. Nice one.

I am liking everything about this capture, and I’m thinking how fortuitous it was getting this frenetic little subject to hold still in one spot for more than a second or two. Great snag.

Excellent image, Allen. Your work has been consistently exceptional the last few months and this is among the top few in my opinion. Beautiful detail, a really interesting perch and a very pleasing color palette.

A bird full of character - and a beautiful image. The frame you chose enhances it too.

Hi Allen, I really like this. Nice head turn, interesting perch, and pleasing background. The spider webs do add another element of interest. Fine details. Well done.

Wonderful image! All said above! I’m amazed it landed without disturbing the dew drops!

I love the clever framing but I would suggest adding a little canvas on the top so the black stroke doesn’t have to touch the berries.
