This is a shot from my backyard feeding station.

Nice pose. The bird is a bit centered for my tastes. I would also apply some sharpening.

P.S. When posting include the techs so we can give better critiques.

Big Welcome JIm !!!!

Great suggestions Aidan I'm sure the original is plenty sharp, might give it a slightly more USM, will turn fine. Mostly square crops are not all that attractive but this is not bad Agree it would look better with a little more room up front !! Processing wise I would brighten the bird more Looking forward to more !!! btw don't forget the tech info !!

Welcome, Jim
Good suggestions. Wonderful perky pose......especially the eye contact and raised crest. Just needs a bit more USM. The square crop is ok for this composition but I'm not a big fan of that crop. Well done.
