I like the colors and composition in this image Arsdel, but it looks like you overdid the noise reduction (particularly obvious on the bird's tail).

I like the colors and composition here too but not the peanut. Arsdel, Could you please post the original capture for the image above. The bird looks as if it has been cut out and there is some very funky stuff going on with the perch. Thanks.

Like the colors and the position of the bird. Might be inclined to remove the peanut.

I'm guessing you've changed or heavily blurred the background? It does look like you could improve the image by masking/selecting the bird and perch more successfully. Would also be interested to see the original.
