Hi Kevin,
very nice shot of this beautiful little bird, great details of plumage and good composition with natural colors,
very well done
regards
Jean-Michel

This is my favorite of all birds..I think perhaps some folk get tired of me sayng this of the chick-a-dee, but it is the most common gracefull small bird which lives in an almost ironic world. You are a master of depth of field and sharpness in this image.....If I didn't know better I would have thought you saw me come online anbd post this beauty. Wonderful and thanks so0 much.

Hi Kevin,
excellent detail and sharp focus as always, and a lovely composition too, very impressive. Hope all goes well with your move and we see you back soon :o)

Hi Kevin,
A beautiful capture of the Chickadee!
I like very much the pose in which he seems inclined and making equilibrium on the angled branch, it looks so dynamic.
You managed pretty well the light and shadows here, and kept great details on the white feathers.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Great shot of this lovely Chikadee, Kevin.
The image is extremely sharp. I like the way this point of view gives a fine impression of its plumage.
TFS and regards.

Hello Kevin,
Excellent details in the plumage!
Your feathered friend is nicely framed by the two branches, the image gives a great 3-D feeling because of the skilful use of DOF...
Lovely colours, by the way!

Hi Kevin,
Couldn't resist this fine Chickadee image. You acheived such beautiful sharpness, POV, light, pleasing bokeh, and eye contact.
Please don't feel you have to reply to this. I apreciate it when you do but I gave up most personal replys to critiques long ago as it consumes too much time. Don't let me stop you though.
Hope your move goes well and your back soon with you wonderful images. TFS

Hi Kevin.
It is clear I am impressed with this picture too. But I am also amazed with your macro lens. First of all this is first macro lens with stabilization (if I am not mistaken, excluding all Minolta lenses which use camera stabilization). In your skillful hands this lens creates wonders. Amazing colours and terrific details and sharpness of the twig and bird. DOF is selected precisely. I don't know would be better if the second twig would be more sharp. Bravo. Refined work.
Alexei.
P.S. My best wishes with your removal. We are waiting for you.

Hello dear Kevin,
A magnificent picture!
I am impressed with the technical quality of their photographs.
Perfect... as always!
Congratulations for the wonderful work!
