This shot is not a portrait and i liked the surroundings so made with the vision as a scape.
can be a vertical crop also but as said my preference more is wide scape with smaller element of bird and perch.

wish you all like it.

C&C Welcome

First thought. Like it. Second thought. Like it... Superb HA and just love the space. Third thought. Understand immediately the appeal as you say of a vertical but the space adds more for me, so glad you presented this way. :). Fourth thought... too many thoughts, :). Very well done.

Here's where more space makes the bird's small size more powerful.

I like this image as presented. It has a great mood and tells a nice story. Nicely presented.

I like the pose, light, sharpness, perch and BG. A vertical crop would work, too, but I like it as presented and might just crop a bit off the top.

[Connie Mier]

I like the minimalist framing, it really highlights the bird. Excellent exposure and you can't beat the bg.

For me a bird with habitat around speaks more that tight close-ups, very well presented.

Great looking bird!
Love the plant where it is perching. I suggest to crop it vertical. Congrats.
