    Very well done Jason. The light on the Towhee is excellent, the bird is sharp and full of detail, some will say the BG is cluttered but I like it as is, these birds live in the thick stuff and this image shows their environment well.

    Jason:

    The bird is excellent, sharp, well exposed, nice eye.

    Yes a bit of cluttered BG. I could see some modest cropping from below and the right to reduce some of the clutter.

    I like using vignettes, but find this one a bit too dark. Subtle works best I think.

    Cheers

    Terrific exposure, details and sharpness on your bird. Wish for a cleaner BG but you have showcased the bird well considering what you were dealing with.

    The bird is nice and sharp and the pose is great, but the BG is taking away from the bird. I think the vignette is a bit much, but I would not loose it completely.

    Thanks everyone! Because of the distracting background, I decided to used very little vignetting to bring out the ET better.
