I like this shot, the BG looks great. I would probably have cropped the RHS about half way between the bottom of the RHS of the branch and the edge of the frame, that way the bird has room to move into the frame although it is facing the other way.

Nice shot. I think you must have tried and used the rule of thirds. Somewaht controversal action some like and others don't. Nice Job.

Lovely. Good and sharp, beautiful bg; and I personally like the crop exactly as presented. Don't know if the bird could stand just a bit more contrast? But very nice just as it is.

Great shot, I would just move the whole crop slightly to the RHS to remove a bit of the tree and give more of that lovely BG. Love the way the head is rotated.

Great shot

Hi Joel, I also like the image but also feel it could use a contrast adj to make the bird stand out a bit more. For my taste I might take a small bit off the left and top.
Beautiful backround,pose and even lighting...nice one..

great job, joel!! i really like the look back pose. one thing to keep in mind is to watch that iso/ss. might want to bump that iso up to get a little more shutter speed!!

[Lance Peters]

Hi Joel - really nice - like the BG - AS mentioned a little more contrast on the bird would give it that added bit of POP.
Keep em coming :)

Great comments ..... would increase the contrast for certain, looks a bit flat as presented !!! Good setup !!!
