Nice colors in this photo. A couple of issues I see are the focus seems a tad soft (perhaps the shutter spedd is too low), and the branch behind the bird seems a bit destracting.

Nice profile image. I find the white circle in the Bg distracting.

This is a rather small part of the full frame and I agree the results are less sharp than desirable. I will work on the bright spot and repost if it works out well.

Thanks for these points.

As noted the bright spot is a bit distracting, but overall I like the image. It seems to me you had some difficult lighting to work with and did very well to get the details in the grosbeak. Thanks for sharing.
