The i ntention was SEO but I had to settle for this! A little different - not too sure what you will think?

I like the small in frame composition, because of the soft background, the bird pops nicely. Color harmony with the browns of the bird and the foreground. The perch is nicely scaled, but because the bird is so small, I do find my attention running up the stalk to the top. Perhaps try a version with the contrast/brightness of the top toned down just a whee bit? I will be curious to see what others think. Thanks for the different style image!
I like this for being small in the frame. I am always hesitant to try one, as I think they can be hard to pull off. Sort of like blurs either you like them or don't. IMO Negative side for me too much space at the top. But what do you do cant really crop because then you knock the seed off the grass.
Same for the space behind the bird wish it could be cropped tighter. Just not in your control. Colors and sharpness are good and love the background. TFS
Very nice Jon....The 'natural' perch looks real good....The crop works for me...I don't mind the amount of green on top...The grasses fills the space nicely....Good detail and pose on the bird....Lovely colours throughout and pleasing to the eye.
