Took this yesterday through an open door onto my deck, he was perched near the feeder. It had just rained and the light was soft and made the colors rich. I wish the perch was not partly OOF. And wonder if others think the angle of the stem is ok. I kind of like the way it counterbalances the angle of the bird--plus, it is this angled in real life. And if I straighten it then I don't like the amount of crop. This is full frame.
Did a bit of cloning on tip of tail so that leaf was not obscuring it. Slight contrast, some NR, sharpening.
Thanks so much for any comments and critiques. I hope you enjoy it!
