looks good, nice calling pose and good looking perch despite feet not visible. if mine I'd back off on the sharpening a bit and get more details out o the chest whites. I am not a fan of the square crops and would go 3:2 also would burn the bright spot in the BG bit. If you had moved to your right at time of capture maybe you could have avoided it

Great bird, calling pose, perch. I would definitely add some canvas to the left to get closer to a 3:2, and tone down the bright spot. Beyond that, a lovely frame with great detail.

Love the colors and details. Great perch as well, even better with a little more on the left. Love this canvas overall. TFS

I would like to see more room infront of the perch.

Easy to add more canvas there.

Sharpening can be toned down, more details in the whites would be nice.

But Major issue is the bright spot in the BG.

Thanks all. I should have stepped to the right.. I had more at left but even more bright spots.. Appreciate the feedback.

Dan, plenty sharp. Creatively the bright spot doesn't bother me a ton but I might try to tone it down a touch.

The overall making of the frame is quite nice. There are probably some details to be had in the whites.

I think this would be a Spotted Towhee versus an Eastern, correct as it has white spots on the upper part of the wing? (as I understand, both were previously known as the Rufous Sided Towhee)

Agree with the others about more to the left. But a nice open view.
