I really like this. Love the perch, the BG, and the singing pose. But the fanned tail and the light make it for me. My only suggestion is that I’d try a version with more of a 16x9 crop.
Allen, another fine look at this beautiful bird. I too love the fanned tail and the lighting, but also catching him in the midst of a song is a nice bonus as well.
Outstanding image with some action. Light and colors are really pleasing. Detail is superb. I like the pose and the composition. Not much I would consider changing here.
Allen: have to love the pose and the fanned tail in particular. Very nicely done with all of the bird and all of its perch in sharp focus. It’s a wall hanger. Richard
