Nice looking bird. I think this could use some sharpening and maybe a bit more contrast.

They are beautiful birds. I agree on the sharpening and perhaps a little bit more saturation?

Very nice image! I agree that a little sharpening would help.

I agree with the previous comments. The darker large branch behind the Grosbeak is also a bit prominent. There hasn't been many of these birds posted here this winter and I have seen far fewer in my yard than other years.

Rohn, a great bird that is for sure. I agree with the others about sharpening and some added contrast. I might also consider bringing the exposure of the entire image down a bit if this were mine.

A nice view of this bird but it's pretty soft as posted and I think it could take some more sharpening.

IMHO nice pose and composition, but needs some saturation, colors seem thin. Glad to see this specic

Rohn,
I like the pose of the Grosbeak a lot and think the setting works well for me. A little more selective sharpening of the bird combined with small increases of saturation & contrast would make the bird stand out more.
