Patricia:

Beautiful bird, sharp, well exposed, nice pose.
I would prefer him a bit more to the left in the frame, but that would result in cutting off the ends of the perch, so it is a bit of a toss up for me

I would consider a slight crop down from the top.

Very well captured.

Cheers

Patricia, moving the bird to the left will work, which in turn will remove the gap at the end of the perch. I do like the detail and colours, together with the pose.

Lovely detail and pose Patricia, love the subtle light and colour rendition. Agree with the crop suggestions.

Hey Patricia,
Excellent suggestions above to consider.....colors on the bird are fantastic and sharp where it needs it. If you are OK with such things....removing the entire twig on the left is also an option......but the OP works for me as presented also. Nicely done!

Hello Randy

Thank you so much for showing an interest in my image. I have more or less the same thought about the picture as you do when it comes to the position of the bird.

Hello

I shall try and move the bird to the left and see what it looks like. Thanks for helping me.
