The workshop participants were treated to this jewel of South Texas as he landed on the mesquite perch set in front of a mesquite tree in early morning light.
That is a seriously red bird. Sharp,nice HA,pleasant BG. I might be tempted to crop in from the right and up from the bottom a bit, but very nice as is. The reds are right on the edge, but it displays well.
What a beauty. I agree that the reds are well handled and yet very vibrant! I, too, would crop from the bottom (right above the bloom that sits beneath your name) and possibly add to the canvas at the top.
Alan, great image, the reds are brilliant and intense as it is characteristic with this species, I would prefer the bird placed to the right since it is looking to the other side.
You can see by the pose, him listening to your recording. Vibrant reds, well handled, and this is really sharp. Comp wise, I would maybe take a bit off the RHS.
