Breaking branches

Caught this GBH yesterday morning in a tree, trying to collect material for a nest. It was having a very tough time breaking off the branches. I got a few other "poses" but thought this one of the bird reaching far out was best. (Keeping for my habitat collection) Suggestions, please?

I am on work monitor and cannot judge the whites but I really like the habitat picture. Exposure techs seem good and I love the "day in the life" moments of birds. Maybe tad tight on the left and bottom, really nice shot Wendell.

Hi Wendell - like the habitat and the action - might try and give the bird a little more pop if possible.
Agree with Jeff just a tad tight on the bottom.
Good show!!

Just a little tight but do like what your doing, a habitat collection is a great idea !!! Will make a fine show when you get enough images !!!

Agree with the note of being a little tight, but a great habitat shot. Congrats and a nice image.....
