Hello Francine,

This is so gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this with us.

So close and in vivid details of the plumage and the head area. Very well perched against the clear sky. I like it and very well done.

Have a wonderful weekend ahead.

Regards,
Jusni

Hi Francine, Lovely close up of this Chickadee. Super detail of his breast feathers. Sweet pose and composition. TFS

PS:I did a work shop as I thought the bird could benifit from a bit of sharpening and added a small amount of contrast while I was at it. Hope you like it.

Hi Francine,
the pose and the POV are fine.
Nice colours and well composed. It maybe could be a bit sharper.
Pity about the branch in the BG, I'm not a friend of cloning in the BG but in this case I don't know ..
Well done.

Bonjour Francine,

Belle photo aves couleurs magnifiques, plumage bien détaillé (dommage pour le blanc de la tête), arrière plan flou et neutre, diagonale agréable, point de vue impeccable! Cadrage un peu trop serré à mon goût, mais cela ne nuit pas à l'image. Merci,

Eugène

bonjour Francine

très belle photographie, d'abord un superbe POV
que je pourrais dire en contre-plongé,
ensuite c'est surtout cette douceur de ces plumes
que j'aimes beaucoup, on a presque envie
de le prendre dans nos mains et le carésser, TFS

Hi Francine,
Well composed, great POV & pose you have here..
Nice colors and details also. The white part of the birds cheek is slightly over, not much though. They are difficult birds with those B&W head feathers.
Well done,
Howard

Hi Francine! You have a perfect shot here! Perfect focus from his beak to his feet. His feathers look so soft!! I agree that this shot resembles childhood...many of the birds I see at home are like that too. My 2 year old son gets so excited to see them at the feeder or bath - and when they get to chattering, he laughs so hard! You can come babysit for me anytime, by the way (hee hee). Great photo - just gorgeous. Penny

Hello Francine
This is truly stunning...the pose is just spot on...but what really makes it special for me is that the lovely chickadee is sharp..but yet theres a perfect sense of softness to him...makes him almost cuddly..its tender eye on the viewfinder and a gentle finger on the shutter here!!
Have a good sunday Francine

Salut Francine,
J'ai manqué ce petit chef-d'oeuvre. Tu étais vraiment proche! Les détails, la prise de vue et la luminosité sont superbes! On dirait que l'on pourrait presque flatter sa petite bédaine :) Très joli! Merci,
