    This is a fine looking set up, there appears to be a little noise in the image but nothing excessive. I like the composition and the complimentary colours. You may wish considering brightening the eye a little bit. The tail is behind one of the stems, but does it really matter?

    Jack, yes to an awesome setup. loved the image design and the BG. the symmetry of the pods makes this one extra special. Well done.

    Love the framing in the seed pods, and very complementary BG colors. Great work!

    What a nice shot Jack. The overall gold tone is perfect for this bird. A very natural looking set up shot to me.

    Great shot. As for the tail behind the stem, I actually prefer that as it looks less "posed". Beautiful.
