This was taken in my garden. I have set a little feeder set up, and hopefully over time, I will capture some garden birds. This guy doesnt keep still, and is a very busy mover. The BG is my garden bed.

Nice species, nice BG and pose, I would suggest brightening the dark areas in the BG and even a little crop from BG and a TAD from left will improve comp IMO.
Congratulations, nice light, colors and detail, perch is not my favorite to be honest.
Thanks for the feedback guys. Here is my repost. I have cleaned up the top half of the bg, but decided to leave the comp. Not much I can do about the perch, as it is a bird bath.
Repost looks better Stu. I like the comp and perch doesnt bother me. Super HA and love the open beak.
Well done. Yip they really dont keep still for long.
Beautifull species. The eye is fantastic and I like the pose a lot. Th ebird is a bit centered to my taste and I prefer the original post instead of the fact that it is a bit distracting :-)
You sleep in your garden?
I prefer the repost Stu. All has been said other than it could be improved having the full tail visible. Still like it though.
Bro, change that perch NOW! :D That does no justice to the beautiful singer here. I love almost everything about it but the perch. Brutal, I know. Good repost, while I know the little fluff behind the wing is part of it, it really competes for my attention.
I cannot wait to see more images from your garden Stu. Some rippers to come for sure. :) Thanks for sharing.
