I like the cheeky pose of this little Waxbill - Taken on a grass slope that leads in to a small pond - Light position noted before the action

Hi Craig, super low angle, and the light has brought out the various colours on the waxbill nicely. The waxbill is nice and sharp too. I find the darker area of the ULC of the BG a touch over - powering, so creating a vertical would work here too.
A beautiful little fella, and I love the quirky "peek-a-boo" pose. Great colours too. Many options you got here, and I'm with Greg about liking the horizontal (except for the large dark area)...but I would go with less at bottom.
