Chris:

The colors, exposure, pose with great grip showing, all good.

I appreciate the concept of having room to look into, but for my personal taste, just too much negative space here on the left. You could try some other crops, including a loose vertical.

Cheers

Thanks for looking Keith and Randy,I did a vertical crop before but was not sure if it worked better than a horizontal,what do you think.thanks again.

Hi Chris .
Good one ! I find G Tits one of th hardest birds to get right for some odd reason. I like both of these. I have t bring up my old chestnut about plain BG's though. I feel some indication of OOF vegetation would have taken this to the top. Just a personal view.

Chris:

I think the repost balances better for me, maybe just a sliver more on left, and if you have anymore clean trunk below, a little bitter more there as well, to prevent going too square. ( Which can work well is some cases!)

Cheers

Beautiful bird, lovely soft light and awesome details.

I love the bird and perch...good IQ too. My initial thoughts mirror Randy's and John's about the BG and negative space here. Repost addresses that.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Ditto the folks above on the negative space and nice idea going vertical, but would add a bit more room. Beautiful light, colors, exposure and details.

[keith mitchell]

Chris its still the original for me ,or maybe something between ,the repost looks a tad tight, all personal choice of course.
