    this is an image that I just like......mostly because of the
    fun I had watching her and just being there. Sure, there
    are problems like cluttered, hidden tail, strong highlights on leaves etc,
    but I just had a trill watching the male chase her around and then she lands
    on this wispy branch that softly moves in the breeze.

    Thanks for continued c/c

    I like this one, it feels very natural and I like the bird's atitude, perch is nice as well, I like the fact that it is not cut, BG, detail and colors look good IMO, light angle could've been better but you managed to get a nice exposure! Congratulations!

    Dave:

    I think your self critque hits most of the points. I would remove the leaf right in front of her bill.

    I addressed the brightness issues on the leaves and background. I can live with the cluttered tail.


    Nice head angle, attentive pose, exposure.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for input Ramon and Randy.
    Randy, I really think that leaf is a part of what made this one for me.
    It sort of overrides the tangle of the other and seems as if the bird is addressing it

    Your toning down the bg and leaves is excellently done....thanks

    Dave:

    The bottom line is: What story are you trying to tell, what brings back the memories for you. So, if that twig in front of her is important to you, then that should guide your decision. For other folks, who don't have the backstory or memory of it, it might seem like clutter. For non commercial use, you are the most important audience for your own pictures, and if others don't 'get it', too bad.

    I think as long as you are aware of who your audience is, it will work out fine.

    Very nice image well composed with a nice head angle and an interesting perch.

    Super pose, pity he wasnt facing the other way, as the curved branch would have framed him nicely. Sharp, good detail, and love the leafy perch. I would maybe move him to the left a bit.
