    Default Evening Grosbeak

    This pic was taken this past Wednesday at Algonquin Park Ontario at the visitor center feeder. This has to be one of the most beautiful winter birds we have and only my second encounter.

    Great head angle, light, BKGR, and bird. Wish only that the perch consisted of a single branch without the extras.... All in all, stunning.

    Great light, details and BG. I would clone out the little branches and maybe a bit more room at the top.

    Agree with Artie about the perch, but the lighting with contrasting bg is quite stunning as are the colours and detail.

    The branches didn't bother me but it does look much better in the repost. I would just run a little blur over the entire background, it could use a little smoothing especially where the canvas was added up to. Very nice capture of a gorgeous bird
