    nice pose and BG, looks like you had a great time! The image quality is poor, maybe a huge crop or soft focus?

    Good wing position Tommy, and he's going to take a long time to build his house with that 'twig' Comp wise, I would maybe move him up in the frame, and agree you have lost some IQ in this. I also feel the BG is a tad over saturated.

    Nice encounter! Like the wing position and the nest material. Green BG looks good with the exception of the vertical blue area in front of the bird. Sharpness could be better; your shutter speed seems quite slow for the amount of available light. I'd like to see a little more canvas at the bottom of the frame, and I'd try to open up the shadows. I'd also consider backing off on contrast a bit.
