    Hi Richard, thanks for sharing. The crop that you have here feels a bit tight. I always try to give my subject a little wiggle room, some figurative room to breathe. If it were possible, I'd try to move a few feet to the right to get a more direct light angle.

    I've attached a repost of what I might do with the composition (I also hit it with a little Smart Sharpen). Try not to pay attention to the terrible Photoshop work :D

    Hi Richard, Blake's repost took your image up a notch; pretty little bird. I'm not sure about whether the eye needs adjusting.
