Chickadees are some of my favorite birds! Great use of DOF! To be more perfect the tip of the tail would have to be present. Still one of my favorites in this challenge.

There is just something very sweet about this picture, the littleness of the chickadee?... How small and frail the little bird seems? ...I find myself caring deeply for this tiny creature...one of my favorites.

The big twists on the wire and blurred backround give you a sense of how tiny this bird is, good work

Nice image. Nice Shallow DOF. It's interesting that the background has the same types of colors and the forground, yet your choice to blow the background details out, make this a very enjoyable image to view. <7>
