Backyard setup with bird feeder and hide. Canon 40D, 300mm 2.8L + 1.4 TC, 1/400 sec., f/4.0, iso 320. Usual processing with ACR and photoshop. Nothing cloned or added. The bright spot in the BG is the sunlight filtering through trees several yards behind my setup.
I like the angle, look-back pose and BG except for the bright spot. Could you try to position yourself a bit further to the left? The head looks a bit soft, I might have stopped down more for wider DOF and might crop a bit off the top. Keep them coming!
Nice simple comp. Good pose and exposure. I'd warm the image up a bit, and a slight contrast boost would give it some punch. I agree with the BG white spot being distracting.
