This is another Finca Oro resident. It is only an occassional visitor to the feeder. All C&Cs welcome.

Excellent, clean and natural looking background. Good light and sharpness. I could see a slightly tighter crop here. I'm a big fan of loose composition and lots of space, but this space is not real active in the composition so I could envision getting tighter on the bird. Nice as-is too though.

Here is a tighter crop.

Very nice image here with subject and bg good and exposure on too.

I was thinking tighter crop when I Matthews reply. I was thinking tighter crop just slightly different then the one you have now shown (Crop of bottom and right more then top and left to give more of Rule of Thirds instead of centered. That rule is made to be broken but would work well here I think.)

Here is a third option.

very nice Jim, I like the third crop.
