Cactus wren gathering feathers to make the nest more comfortable for the winter.
Any thoughts in general are appreciated. Cropping more or less is always a problem for me.

Wonderful behavior and a really nice pose, Charlie. I think you could crop down a bit from the top to the bottom of the bright blob on the upper right. It looks to my eye as if you’d processed the wren and the perch together and ended up with the perch looking a bit oversaturated and rather grainy. If the processed version is on a separate layer, you could just brush over the perch with a low opacity eraser brush on the processed layer until it starts looking more natural.
Thanks. I was afraid to get it too tight. I brush and decreased the texture slightly decreased the exposure.
Great activity shot. Nice pose and the detail looks great. Got a good background as well. I like the work you did on the re-post.
Great job on the repost, Charlie.
Lovely action captured, and the repost brings it out even better i.m.o. No nits. Cheers, Hans
Hi Charlie, I really like this behavioral capture. It’s quite intriguing seeing the bird collecting feathers. Repost looks really fine. Well done.
Great behavior you managed to capture here! I like the repost better except for the tighter crop. I think the original crop worked best.
