I like this for the setting and how the kinglet blends in. Also, nice to see the ruby crown, if only a small one.

Great capture Allen. I’m surprised you even saw it, the colors all blend so well together. Wonderful perspective. Nicely seen and captured.

This is quite nice! I suppose the pine tree is a little easier than Willow thicket but still an accomplishment. Excellent detail and pose.

Nice, better habitat than most for the species and you got a bit of the crest…

Excellent job on this, Allen. You got most of it in the open and I really like the look it’s giving you. My only suggestion would be to bring down the highlights on the breast a touch.

Really nice. I like the nice eye contact and the bit of the ruby crown. It looks good in the pine needles.

Very nice! Cool that the red pine needles are there to echo the little crown!
