    This is a sweet frame Will. Love the overall composition with the bird placement and the really interesting perch. Details on the bird, ha, sharpness all make for a great image. TFS

    Hi Will, well seen and executed, the open, trilling/sing beak is the icing on the cake. If you have it then moving the whole frame a tad more to the left to include more of the berries might be nice.

    I can see a version with a small RGB Curves tweak and Vibrance HSL increase just to enrich both the plumage andlift the image ever so slightly.

    TFS

    Will, this is nice my friend.

    Love the calling pose for sure. But the interesting berries add as well.

    I like the comp on this one and love that everything from the branch forward is sharp and IF.

    Well captured from here, nicely done!

    I'd personally prefer a bit more room at left, but other than that this is a very well executed high-key image. The wide-open bill is good, and the berries are an excellent touch.
