Frank:
I like his slightly bedraggled , drying pose, his angle in the frame, and the soft background.
I certainly would keep the three shoots on the left, but might soften the contrast on the darkest of the three, so it isn't quite so jarring.
The greens on my monitor are really saturated.
Cheers

Hi Frank,
I like the pose of the bird and the wet look. Background is nice but I agree with Randy on the green saturation. Inclusion of the three grass strands is a nice touch.

I will get my hand on the image to desaturate the green background and and soften/lighten the darkest of the three.
Thanks for the constructive criticism!

Very nice image design here with an interesting pose and perch. Those grasses balance the image perfectly. Your whole image is badly over saturated. I feel like I am saying the same thing on almost every image posted lately that either are too blue, too green, too yellow, too saturated, etc. What monitor do you use. What camera and lens was used? Also are you sure on the ID here. Looks more like some species of turdus thrush.

Dear Isaac,
thanks for the reply!
my monitor: DELL U2410
Camera: EOS 5D MKIII
I agree on the point that the image is quite oversaturated. Thats why I will post it again when I went over the image from scratch.
Regards,
Frank

Hey Frank, I look forward to the repost. I love the raised wings but wish that the head were turned just a bit more toward us.
with love, artie

Hey Artie,
when I first saw the image I was delighted. But with a closer look I realized that the head angle is not perfect beside the now removed post in the lower right corner.
The bird seems not to look straight but more to the left hand site of the viewer.
I am not quite sure if the bird should always look directly at the viewer because this sometimes seems to me that the bird is aware of my presence.
But with the above image I agree that the head could be turned a little bit more towards the sensor plane which would add to the composition.
Frank
