David, this is very nice. Great pose with the feet visible, really cool branch, fine detail, bright eye and very appealing BG. My only possible suggestion for this excellent image is to remove the bright catchlight, as there is already a nice reflection in the eye.
Fine work here!

Thanks so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it.

Excellent Downy image, David. Beautiful detail in the plumage, a nice background and a very appropriate perch.

Looks great to me David. You got really nice detail in the woody and the perch, set off by a nice smooth BG.

Hi David, really fine catch of this male. Nice details, interesting perch and pleasing BG. I also noticed the small single catchlight - think it could go. Very nice capture.

Great catch, David. That background is superb.

HI David
I like the framing, how the branch guides the viewer eye to the Downey’s head and eye. Nice work.
Peter

Thanks So much

A wonderful comp and the prudent use of flash brought out additional details in the downy. The catch light is not a deal breaker, but you could remove if so desired. Perch and soft BG add a lot to this strong comp…Jim

Excellent detail and the interesting perch adds to the image. Good background as well.
