I like the attentive pose, light, details, perch and BG and might give it a bit more room. Thanks for sharing!

This is full frame... I was framed for a smaller Brown headed flycatcher when this one came in and chased it away and I was in a blind so I didn't have time to take off the converter...... Oh well I could add canvas....

Hi Robert,
Seems his head is a little big for his body. I like the streamlined body pose and head angle of this one.

Wonderful alert pose and great eye contact as well as a killer BG. I do agree with Axel that a tad more canvas would strengthen this image.

What a beautiful, sharp image with a smooth bg. I learned from a framer that you can visually add canvas by properly matting with a matching color to fool the eye, which is what I might try if you plan to print and frame. (Or you could just do it the PS way).
