    Very nice picture; I don't mind the grass at all. Compositionally I think it could use some more room top/rt, and maybe a bit less rock.

    Hey Christopher,
    I really like this too! I think the grass adds to the overall appeal as does the perch. I generally prefer tighter crops......but this works excellent as presented also!

    I like the wide crop as well. It adds an environmental feeling for me.

    Super detail and well captured! Well done.

    The little guy sure is posing proudly - love the angle. The Weatear is nice and sharp showing good detail, and the rocky perch does add with the different colours on it. IMHO, I would have preferred the grasses on the LHS of the image.

    Beautiful image. I like the pose, and the excellent perch. The comp is good as is too. I'd be interested to see a version with the one off-parallel blade eliminated just for fun (leaving the other three intact)...but I like it this way. Very nicely executed!!

    Lovely pose, comp, perch and bird. Very nice bg and light too.
    I love the grasses and wouldn't clone them out.

    I can't argue with your decision to leave the grass in. In fact, I can't think of anything much else to do except enjoy this capture of a good bird.
