Happened to be at the Nature Center when a small group of these grosbeaks came around. No chance to get photos with a cleaner BG.

Like this a lot especially the way the twig frames the back of the bird ii might try to take off the bit of branch emerging from the left side of the birds neck -- rest of the BG looks acceptable to me

John,
Great of you to take advantage while you had the opportunity. While there is certainly clutter in the image it's not terribly distracting although it's not what I would call becoming either. :smile: Great pose with an intent look and pretty sharp. It looks just a little bit tight in the frame to me. Maybe just loosen it up slightly. Just a suggestion. :biggrin:
