At the feeder recently, taken through a window. Some oof bits of the feeder cloned out. Backlit, and I realize that there are some blown highlights, but I didn't think they detract too much. Fill flash and widows don't mix.

Interesting close up. Sharper than I would expect through the window.
Blown highlights mentioned. I also find the halo along the abdomen a bit distracting.
Interesting that you were able to get the exposure so close. How much plus did you have to dial in?
Head angle and sharpness look good. Sometimes it works to use flash through a close window if the flash is not parallel to the glass. I would go for a tighter crop here, maybe some off bottom and right.
