Amazing how fragile their legs are but still strong enough to hold a pose like that. Nice capture.

Nice focus and action shot
The look is nicely direted, and no part of the shot looks empty.
The body colour of that bird is beautiful, but i'm not an expert. I saw parliament-funk's comment, and is that bird a female ? They've got different colors in winter and summer ? And different from the genre ?
Sorry for the non-desired critique, but anyway, that's a pleasure to me

HA scratch that response, I was thinking of a different picture. This is a goldfinch duuhhh ... its a female lol and yes the colors are very different in winter. In summer they have a much brighter yellow and olive coloring, not as extreme as the male who is very bright yellow, but still a noticeable difference.

Thanks for lighting my lamp up
Apparently this species is only present in North America ...

They look different in Europe that is all I know, I do not know where else they are present.

With those chickadees its almost impossible to tell if they are female or male, the markings are too similar. The colors in summer are a tad bit brighter but not that much.
