    Very cute. Great bird, cool plant, and neat BG! I know you wanted to keep the top of the plant intact, but I believe cropping it would balance the image more nicely as the bird is pushed down a little too low in the frame (I'd crop to just above the highest open flower). Good exposure and sharpness, well done!

    Lovely enviromental image Jose, and what amazing colours in the BG. Comp wise, I would maybe take a bit off the top, to form more of a pano crop to suit his pose. If you want to leave the top of the plant, you could add to the right, if you have room. I would also do a bit of selective sharpening on the beak, head and neck.

    Love the BG JOse. Hate to be the contrarian, but I like the crop as presented. The repost puts him dead center.
    NIcely done!

    This is a tough one to crop right. I agreed with what Daniel initially said, but when I saw the reposted crop, it did look to center. Lovely detail and colours in this! Well done!

    José, in cropping it you should keep the space you originally had in front ;-)
