    Great colors and especially like the plant with its greens and browns. If this were mine I'd work to remove the -45° OOF grass, particularly in the upper right quadrant.

    Wow, two non-flying birds in a row and two non-ducks. Life must be tough! Are you OK???

    I like the COMP and the seed husks on the bird's bill. EXP and SH right-on as expected.

    James I like the concept of the image, habitat and oof grass stems in the BG. All with good techs as mentioned above. And of course the sparrow.!

    James, there is nothing missing and nothing to change/correct with this image. I like tht the BkG has a lovely muted pattern instead of being plain. TFS!

    Nice job with the separation... Personally, on my computer (calibrated) it could use a levels adjustment.
    It's just a bit too warm/flat.
