Nice, clear focus on the chickadee. Compositionally, I would have preferred to see the bird more off centered, say by perhaps a closer crop on the right of the photo.

how do you know it is a mother? it looks like a dude to me :)

Back for comments. A very nice nature shot but unfortunately I think voters will be looking for mother/child relationships. Although not easy to capture it would have scored much higher if a young bird were in frame as well.

Since this is advanced, I would have cloned out the bands. They make it look less like this is in the wild and are a bit distracting with their bright colors compared to the nice subtle background. The bird is nice and sharp though. Maybe a little less centered on the composition. 6

The composition needs a little work. The subject matter could have been better. The image quality is ok. Could have been a little more creative. - 4

I assuem the bands give you the motherly information, cause I think sexes are the same in all chickadees.

I wish there was a baby bird, a nest... something to show the "mother" aspect of this cute little gal. Great shot of the bird with the detail in the wings and feathers.

I'm curious as to why that little birdie has such colorful wraps around its legs. Aside from that I think it's a good shot. For me, I wonder how this would look if cropped in a bit more from the left - to make the feeder even more off center.

Nice image ... bit of a stretch for mother but it works

Bird sitting on a feeder. Do birds even have to worry about feeding babies in winter time? Is this a part of the country where it is summer instead of winter? Anyway, this looks like shameless shoehorning to me and doesn't say anything to me about motherhood. It is a nice bird photo though.

very nice, Since we almost always see birds sitting on a branch, this one stands out, especially because of the rounded handle and rounded feeder top. 7 did you try an off center composition?

I wonder how the Chickadee got banded?

This is gorgeous. Good detail and exposure.
