The BG in this shot really makes it IMO. I do like how the branches seem to frame the shot also.

Very nice framing and an excellent color palette. I like the Finch's pose too.

I like the framing of all the curving twigs and also the BG. I like the way it gradiates (is that a word?)from bright on the right to darker on the left. Oh yeah, the bird looks great too.

You framed this one nicely with all those curvy branches. Nice head turn and details on the bird. Sharon

I like it Clayton, the bg is really nice and I like most of the branches. I would crop just a little from the top to just below the curvy branch which is directly above his head, but that's just my personal taste.
