William:
Very nice. The extra plant material in the bg really helps give a sense of depth for me. Some might like it removed.

Subtle color palette, seed, exposure, all good.

Cheers

I like the soft light, details are a bit soft/lacking, maybe a big crop?

This is simplistic gold. Love the muted colors, the softness works well....a cracker of a little bird that reminds me of our song sparrow sans the bill...I like the foraging behavior. Tinkering with introducing a little more light on the bird itself to enhance the details and especially add life to the eye is worth considering. Great image sir.

nice pose perch,nice soft light,a tad more sharpening for me.TFS.

[keith mitchell]

William agree a tad more sharping but that apart love the muted colours and that nice b/g.

[gail bisson]

Love the image design here.
I would lighten the eye area a bit and sharpen the entire image,
Gail

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the low light, perch, pose, food in the beak and composition. Some good suggestions to make this image even better. Well done William.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi William, I like the earthy colours in this, and great you captured him with a seed in his beak. Another vote for another round of sharpening.

[William Dickson]

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. I have sharpened the repost a little more, brightened up the head and eye

[keith mitchell]

William that looks about right to my eyes.

Keith.

[John Robinson]

Somewhere between the two I reckon Will. Repost looks a wee bit crunchy to me. Both nice though.
