These little birds make a lot of noise...i have not seen too many lately but today this one was near the beach at the lake......EDIT.....cropped as suggested ;) another edit...increased levels a bit...changed the crop to non square....selective sharpening only on the bird ;)

Head and eye are good and sharp. Might make a tighter crop as I feel there is just a bit too much negative space.

Nice exposure, bird looks a bit soft. Would suggest some selective sharpening on bird only. Crop wise I would take some from the top and bottom getting it out of a square crop. Im not opposed to square crops but dont think in this case it works as well. TFS

I like the look back and nice BG here, not crazy about busy FG. The bird looks hazy and needs more sharpening.
