    Fun image, thanks for sharing. I would be tempted to take a bit off the bottom (add to the top) and move the bird a bit to the left. I personally don't think the perch/mud hill adds much to the image, and I prefer the BG.

    This one made me smile!!
    I agree with Richard re: taking some off the bottom and top.
    The muddy mound is a bit overpowering.
    Bird is so funny looking!
    I like the color palette with the blues in the BG and the pop of yellow.
    TFS,
    Gail

    What a truly pitiful looking bird! And the repost is a much stronger image! Nicely done!

    Greenfinch! Ha ha! Never would have guessed it. He certainly does't seem pleased with his new look.

    Some preference for the repost, although I like both.

    A cracking image! I like both posts but in the original it appears more vulnerable.
