A beautiful image I like the calling pose, I am sure you already said it to yourself but I wish the seed head had not been clipped. The head angle isn't quite optimal but still a lovely shot.

Looks much too bright on my screen ... Others? Going to horizontal would have solved several problems with this one ...

Nice calling pose ,agree with the clipping . I think you got lots of details in the blacks and agree too bright. I have trouble with the blacks in post. I think it helps to shoot these guys in soft light. The reds look spot on.

Krishna:
Excellent calling pose, ruffled feathers, nice job holding the reds, which are very easy to blow out on this black bird.
I do agree with Artie that he appears a bit too bright. I would experiment with pulling back the exposure a bit and see what you think of it.
Because of your tight framing due to your setup, I agree with Artie that a horizontal format might have been a good choice.
The RWB are really belting it out around here in Michigan as well.
Cheers
Randy

Would like to see the flower head in full can you crop to horizontal? I like the wind swept shoulder feathers.
