This bird has taken up residence in my front yard. I hope with Spring on the way that we might have a nest.

Nice low angle. Light looks pretty harsh. Neat looking bird.

Nice contrast between the subject and the BG I also like the head on pose and while the light is a little harsh it was handled well.

Nice pose coming straight at you...great background and OOF transition. For me, I'd rather not have the foreground OOF area and crop up a bit to eliminate most or all of it. As mentioned the light looks harsh and maybe the breast is a bit hot but I'm looking on my fairly bright laptop/glossy screen so maybe not an issue on a proper monitor.
