wonderful image TFS, Miro

[Bill Dix]

He's about as punky as it gets! Great capture. Thanks for sharing.

[Richard Flack]

Fun image, thanks for sharing. I would be tempted to take a bit off the bottom (add to the top) and move the bird a bit to the left. I personally don't think the perch/mud hill adds much to the image, and I prefer the BG.

This one made me smile!!
I agree with Richard re: taking some off the bottom and top.
The muddy mound is a bit overpowering.
Bird is so funny looking!
I like the color palette with the blues in the BG and the pop of yellow.
TFS,
Gail

Repost looks great.

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Super funny and totally funky bird Miro. I like it a lot.

[Karen Pleasant]

What a truly pitiful looking bird! And the repost is a much stronger image! Nicely done!

[Michael Hansen]

Haha! I love it! That's great! :)

[Mike Poole]

It's all been said already, great fun pose. The RP is a nicer crop in my opinion

[Diane Miller]

Wonderful! Another vote for the RP.

Good IQ,and fun image,looks like it as been through a car wash,the bird that is:S3:.The repost is better.TFS

[Gerald Kelberg]

Greenfinch! Ha ha! Never would have guessed it. He certainly does't seem pleased with his new look.

Some preference for the repost, although I like both.

A cracking image! I like both posts but in the original it appears more vulnerable.
