I like the high key with hint of texture in BG. Wish for a little more vibrance/SAT on the bird. Given the perch this would also work as vertical. TFS

John:

Good perch, detail, without overpowering the bird. Agree about a vertical crop as an option.
Saturation looks good compared to my local kingbirds.

Cheers

I rather like the comp as is, but if I find myself in such a situation with a cooperative subject I do try to remember flipping the camera over for some verticals as well. The only times I've seen the red crown on these guys was in rainy conditions, no exception here for you eh! Good job overall.
