    Yellow hammer. As you can see this is from a pool re hash. I change it as often as I can. Some may think this a little cluttered

    Slight crop and a couple of white splodges removed.
    Thanks for looking. This species has really dropped around here of late

    A sweetie in a very pretty environment, John! By body shape, I'm assuming this is a finch species? Would like to see less on the right (big log) and a bit more of the pond.... but, just "ducky" (or finchy) as is tho too!

    If you're in the mood to do more removing of white spots, maybe consider the one in front of the breast and the one under the rump.
    Lovely photo, nice pose and surrounds. :)

    Bird looks great. Perfect look back and nice color palette.
    I like the plants on the right and the diagonal log but wish the horizontal log( with the green on it) above the bird was not there.
    So i guess I fall into the camp that finds this a bit cluttered!!
    Still a fine image and I enjoyed viewing it,
    Gail
