It does have nice colors in the under belly area and the drops of water caught here a nice bonus. One immediate nit would be the steep angle here. Or perhaps you wanted it this way for some reason? You do not say what your intended results were.

Very lovely but you needed your ladder... Like everything about it but the steep angle of inclination...

later and love, artie

I love the berries and this beautiufl bird in the rain. I agree about that steep angle.

I like the perch with the berries. In addition to the steep angle, it looks a little overflashed to me. I might turned the flash down 1/3 of a stop.

Great subject matter Todd and the water droplets are a bonus, but the low perspective lets the composition down for me.

Thanks for the comments, will have to try the ladder as most of the bird seem to like the higher perches. Had a hawk buzz the flock today, did they ever scatter! Will be watching for him in the coming days:).
