Too much canvas on the right side for me. But, it does give you the impression that he is lonely . Nice mood.

I like this little bird Rob. Drab, but goes well with the snag perch and stands out against that nice BG. larger image shows nice detail. Personally, I don't like squarish crops so the comp is fine with me.

Very nice as posted. I'm a sucker for "drab" birds like tihs. I also like the texture and shape of the perch. The composition works for me.

A lovely image of a drab, friendly and photogenic bird. Perch and background work well.

Doesn't look drab to me. He will never go out of style and matches that perch. Nice comp.

Very nice bird- Great delicate colours, details and BG- with enough room in the original file I'd try a vertical crop, to enhance the interesting perch- Ciao, Fabio
