Hello Williams and welcome to BPN.

You have a lovely light here... the BG could be cleaner as is very distracting. I would love to see more room in front of the bird. You did well with the exposure, keeping nice details in your main subject.

Thank you for sharing and keep posting!

This has super color and BG. I would perhaps crop a little below the ‘dead’ leaf on the top just hanging there, and also just above the little clutter in the bottom left corner. Though that way I think it will be maybe a a tad too squarish and I personally am not a big square person. However, more room in front of your bird would be nice and that could avoid the square-ish appearance. But at the end, the square really is not an issue I don't think.

Very pretty picture of this bird. The BG doesn't really bother me as I think the subject is strong enough to stand out on it's own.

You could, if you wanted, clone out some of the BG elements that others might find distracting.

Hi thanks it is my first time posting so i was just happy to get up on the site i could have cropped it better i"ll do better next time

[Arthur Morris]

I like it but would like it better with a little less saturation and with the leaf at the top cloned out. Good job waiting for the necessary head turn.

later and love, artei

A very nice pose and great bird. I love these guys! But I agree that it is oversaturated.

[Tom Cudzilo]

Excellent exposure, pose, details... but the top of the branch is too busy imho... but sometimes there is nothing you can do about this unless you do a setup.
