Yeah, too bad about that dominant branch behind the Grosbeak. I like the messy eating pose - this is how I almost always see them. Tight in the frame, and I think it could use some brighting around the eye area (but not too much!).
Welcome. No need to repeat the above excellent suggestions. I just love the colors on both sexes of this species.
later and love, artie

Love it. I'm not bothered by the branches, etc at all. I like the context it provides.
