Hi Gina,
I like your composition, image and capture...you have good details and good color rendition...The background compliments your little guy very well...:cool:
Good capture. I love the creamy BG against the yellow feathered friend. Nice crop as well. One little thing...The sticks highlights are a tad bright for my tastes.
Agreed to mentioned. But I find it may be better if the bird did not look so directly towards the camera. The reason being the color of the beak is very close to that of the rest of the bird. As a result, the beak kind of buried in the "background." But it's probably just me.
Desmond brings a good point regarding the head viewing angle, I think in this case square to the camera would have been better than slightly off. Would also crop a little from the top to tighten image. Was going to suggest the same for the bottom but will affect the perch !!!
