First time I have stumbled on this - what a great shot.

Baby birds always manage such a 'cross' look. lol

Excellent capture. Not often do people capture facial expression on birds. The motion of the wing is good too, as it keeps my eye drawn to the face more.

Okay I'm really glad that I've come back to leave a few comments on this challenge because I would have totally messed up this vote for sure. I gave this a 4 on my first run through of voting! A huge WHOOPS on my part.

This shot is simply stunning! Great motion capture of the wing and the shallow DOF really pulls your eye into this little guy. I'm really diggin the sharpness of his head and breast. I might have cropped a little more off the left but that is just a matter of opinion.

Saturation and contrast are dead on. A wonderful capture that this voter is glad he came through for a second look!

A BIG bump up!

Face is 'way cute' but the out-of-focus areas are distracting.

How adorable! Love those little pinfeathers on the sides of the head :-) Looks like he just discovered he has a wing. I might have cropped a bit tighter on the right, but this is very nice.
