Alan:

Supergorgeous, you are a master in visual design, the diagonal branch follows the contour of the bird, the saturation on the feathers is fantastic and the background being variagate is very complimentary.

An awesome shot as usual, Alan! :roll:
I'm debating whether the bird is too high up in the frame as is ... :mrgreen:

Amazing how beautiful even the most common birds can be, when photographed well.

Juan is right....you are a master in visual design. I can't imagine coming up with so many unique perches and getting them setup for the multitude of species you have. I really love mockingbirds so this one is special. The more love for the bird.....the more hate for you.

No flash Chris. Just a light hazy sky.

This is beautiful. Outstanding color, background, composition. There's nothing to critique but much to appreciate.

I just looked at the thumbnail and though "Alan Murphy". I guess its not a bad thing to be typecaste for great images.
