Love the pose, nice sharp image, I would like to see some of the left side cropped out.

I don't see much of the Phoebe at all around here in NE PA for some reason...Used to see them all over western PA all the time...

Thanks for posting this fine close up, I've almost forgotten what a Phoebe looks like...

The natural setting and the bokeh are real pleasant...

What lens was this with?

Nice shot, Chris. You've captured an excellent portrait with that turn of the head and shiny little eye.

I missed this one!

I like it, the way the light strikes the bird and makes it stand out is what makes this shot for me!

Well Done!

Very nice Chris. Good light and BG in this image. My only suggestion would be to clone out the OOF...in the top left corner...extend the BG into that corner.
