Hi Robert,

Fell free to post a larger image so it is easier to critique. The eye in shadow is probably the main thing to improve her, at catpure with fill, or in processing withe shadow/highlights, curves, etc.

Welcome, Robert
It would be easier to critique the image if it were larger. Guidelines state that your image can be up to 800 pix on the longest side and up to 150kb. The eye area does seem dark. I would also crop a little on the left to get the eye out of the center of the image. It sounds like you have a nice place to photograph birds which will give you more practice and knowledge of the different species.

Hi Robert,

Looks like Jeff and Lana have covered everything and I agree with their comments.
