Nice backyard bird! I like the wide crop, light, eye contact and BG. Might work as vertical crop, too, but I like it as is.

Very cool to this in your backyard! I love the comp and pose - perfect subject placement within the frame. The one vertical branch in front of the bird is somewhat distracting to my eyes...if your PP ethics permit it you could make it disappear.

This is a really nice shot Adams. The BG is beautiful, and expsoure is bang on. Although I dol like the current composition, I think I'd be tempted to take a little off the bottom, and just a touch off the RHS. I find the bottom portion of the foliage a bit 'busy'.

Excellent comp. I really like the enviromental aspect in this, with loads of space. Super pose, with good light, colours and detail. Your backyard birds sure beat mine.:( LOL.

Comp and BG really put this one over the top for me! Congrats!

Lovely setting here.. the branch on the left side of the bird distracts a bit.. still loved the image.. congrats..

Very nicely composed with plants going diagonal, not distracting at all.
Great BG color goes very well with the bird. Some backyard you have:)

Hi Adam, I like this very much. The pose of the bird and inclusion of habitat is very pleasing. The blurred background really helps focus on the foreground details instilling depth. I am envious of your backyard. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Phil,
Leaving in North Carolina you probably have a gorgeous back yard as well, i was there last October and the colors were amazing.Dow here in Brazil we do have the mountains but not those beautiful colors.
