Rose breasted

[Rene Quenneville]

Following yesterday's post, here is the adult male. The picture was underexposed by more than one stop because I was afraid to clip the red channel ( I did not see the white background from an old piece of plastic in the back of the yard). I have managed to rescue some of the picture but the noise reduction has removed some sharpness. Unfortunately we see the feeder but I like the pose and legs position.

As presented, I would sharpen the eye and the beak more. The colors look good to me.

I like the angle, pose and eye contact. I agree regarding more sharpening and wish for a more natural perch.
