Like everything about this capture, William. Love that you chose the open crop to keep the Stonechat relatively small in the frame showing as much of that beautiful background as possible. Great detail and eye contact as well. Looks as if you've also captured a creature, slug possibly, at the base of the stem.

BG is great, bird looks nice, I would still go for a vertical crop.

Great IQ overall with lovely complimentary colors. And great that it was on the end of the perch. Another vote for vertical crop so that we could see more of the bird's detail. BG is wonderful.

I like this crop but could see a vertical if you have enough pixels.
The simple perch is lovely. Is that a little worm/bug at the bottom of perch?

Really like how the bird is at the very top of the perch. That background is killer. Yes to the vertical framing.

Thanks guys, appreciated. That's a snail at the bottom of the perch Gail.
