Nice capture of the Bluebird, Robert. The oof background makes him stand out nicely. It is probably just a personal preference, but I wish his tail hadn’t been cropped out. I could even use a bit more of his perch in the image, but like said, personal preference. A great shot as it is.The colors are really great, and nice details in the feathers.

I like the lighting in this image, Robert. It adds a lot of modeling to the bird. I do think you could brighten the face just a bit without losing that effect. I agree with Shirley that it’s a bit tight on the bottom. A fine image as posted.
