Comment by ovenbird:
I think I would like this image more if the chickadee filled the frame more and if the exposure was just a tad darker. I think you could crop quite a bit off the top and to the rear of the bird and the picture wouldn’t suffer. This way the viewer could see a lot more detail in the feathers and the picture would be more interesting (for me anyway). However, the large empty space in the photo could be used to enter text which could make it more valuable as a stock photo. I do like that you have the bird slightly off center.

Very nice bokeh. Composition-wise, I think that cropping the left side and leaving more empty space on the right would create an illusion of looking into the distance. But I like it this way, too.
