I would give you a 6 if I had one.

Very nice job!

I love the clarity, texture, composition, exposure, focus, lighting...everything works really well.

I love that you can see the flecks of snow...great job!

Wow,
The focus and sharpness are wonderful.
To be able to see the snowflakes, and the lines of the feathers is great.

Fantastic close up of your close friend. It is so neat to see the detail in the feathers, and to also see the eye close up. Your detail is phenomenal, and the pov is excellent. Everything about this photo is pure excellence!

Oh, my, but this made me laugh. The seeds hanging from her mouth is fantastic. Excellent focus, lighting and color. I also do the same things with the birds here. I fill there feeder; clap my hands once; and go in the house. As soon as I close the screen door they are at the feeder...

Nice close up. Like that you placed the beak against a snow patch in lieu of the dark background where it would of been lost. Good overall sharpness, nice brilliant red, good composition.
