Removed some OOF branches from the background above the main branch.
Photographed in late September '07 in Jasper National Park.
Welcome, Mike. Good to see you here. I like the pose, BG and exposure control. The perch is not the most attractive and for some reason I find the OOF branch at the lower left side a bit distracting. BTW, this is one of the few winter finch species I haven't seen around here this winter. I look forward to your posts.
Beautiful is all I can say. The little branches are somewhat distracting. I would remove most of them (except the perch of course :D ) but at least the little one behind the wing tip. I love the bill on this crossbill.
no nits from me, a great pose on this splendid male.. I have only viewed them with snowcover, so the clean green bg is a real treat.. well done Mike :)
Welcome, Mike! It's great to have you here! I love the background that you captured, compliments your subject very well. Distractions already mentioned :)
