Outstanding photo of the mockingbird. I took my first mockingbird photos today. I was excited about how close I was able to get. But none of mine are as beautiful at this one of yours! Excellent sharpness and details with perfect exposure and a nice setting and composition.

Hello Celicia,
Perfect mockingbird picture. Composition, sharpness, and exposure are great. Nice natural colors, off background, and frame. Very well done and TFS.

Hi Cecilia,
Though I might have cropped this differently, this is a fine sharp shot of a mockingbird. Nice portrait pose and the berries make a fine decoration. Great BG too.
TFS, regards, Ivan

A beautiful composition, Cecilia.
Your shot makes me think of a painting.
The colors are subtle, but gorgeous.
The details on the bird and the berries are super sharp.

Hi Cecilia

Another terrific capture from you!
Remarcable how you caught this little bird right on top of those branches, so that you wouldn't have any distractions neither in the FG nor the BG. It all mekes such a lovely composition!
The DOF is impecable, giving you an excellent focus on the bird and also that lovely blurred BG.
The exposure is spot-on and so the colors are tones, throughout the entire frame, are charming.
Great work!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Cecilia,
