These are cool birds, living in the thorns! I like how you got its habitat but wonder what a little tighter crop would yield?

I'm with Willie...maybe cropping about half off the bottom...but I'd still keep
what you have here cause its awesome also, especially with that thingamajig
on the right cactus.

I like the strong eye contact. Good job isolating the bird from the cactus. A little more of a crop would be nice but it is also nice to see the bird in its environment.

This is very cool! How can they DO that?? The bird looks like it's thinking, "What do I do now?"

Thanks folks. My initial approach was a tighter crop, but I felt the environment added too much to lose it. It's sort of a balance in my mind as to whether the environment or the bird was more important here.

I think you hit a god balance -- the cactus is a huge part of the story. A case where you could have several interpretations.

Nice concept and I like the original framing. The BKGR is super-noisy and the images looks as if it could go a lot lighter; try pulling up the Curve....
