I really like the detail and color of this. The bird really pops out at you. Excellent focus. The colors are great and contrast well with each other. I like the blending of grays and blues. Nice job...

great shot. I like the suttle reflection on the red ornament of the bird. He probably didn't. :)
Nice work here, thanks for sharing this.

Good detail in the chickadee Willie as usual, but I fear the bright bauble was a mistake both for the bird and your image. It looks so out of place and artificial.Mitch

Nice composition and subject, however, I'm wondering why both red globe and bird tail have been cut... Good focus on the bird and well shown the feathers with the beautiful colors. Contrast and sharpness good. Lighting good.

I bet they were afraid of the red ball. I love this close up and especially the reflection in the bright red Christmas ball. The dark green background completed this striking photo.

A beautiful shot and well composed, very creative of you.. A different festive look. This is a brave little bird he sure thought the seed was worth being adventitious..
