Lee Ann,
A beautiful black & white picture of this tiny Black Capped Chickadee looking back over it's shoulder. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera & editing techniques & very sharp focus so given time I could count each feather.
Good luck in the contest.
Susan

This close-up is excellent. Your photo is perfect focused and exposed. I am impressed by the sharpness of detail. The high key background emphasizes the bird remarkably. The bird is expertly placed within the frame. The placement of the bird on the diagonal branch pleases the equilibrium of the viewers. The bird-portrait is excellent composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Hey LeeAnn!
What another great photo of a chickadee you have presented us with! The feathery details are presented very nicely and show great focus. The white background is perfect for contrast of this little bird. Beautiful work, I wish you luck in the contest!
