    I was able u take wharto take this image in Fort Pierce, FL in a back yard with feeders. The bottom of the image is the bottom of the frame. I would have liked to have a little more room, but you take what you can get and the colord I think are terrific. I would very much appreciate any thoughts you have, Shooting data:

    Wheeler, a pity you show only half of this beautiful bird. Looks pretty sharp with such a focal length and only 1/60s, well done! The colors seem a bit over saturated, and the light colored leafs in the bkgd are a bit distracting to me.I would crop from the right to get rid of the upper right corner and lower left corner leafs.

    I hate to make negative comments, but it is not as sharp as it should be, the missing part is distracting. It might be nicer as a head shot. But, they are beautiful birds.

    Her is a repost. I cropped a little off the right side and darkened the background. I think it is better, but I am not sure. Please let me know what you all think.

    The colors of the Painted Bunting are truly beautiful. I think your repost is an improvement, incorporating some of the above suggestions.
