What a cutie! I love these birds...but they are fast as lightning! I think with the vertical position of the perch you might want to try a more vertical crop and see what you think. It feels like the bird has a little too much negative space around it as it stands. You got a lovely BG going here yet great crisp details on the bird. Very well done! Wish his little "hat" was up but this is still a wonderful image of this bird.

Thank you Julie.

Here is the crop suggestion, I had considered this option as well...is it better?

[Maureen Allen]

I like this crop much better. Beautiful background!

[Julie Kenward]

I do, too! Very nice and such a simple change!

[Brian Kent]

I concur - you can't buy a background like that! Nice catch for a fast 'lill critter like the TT!
