I certainly like your framing and exposure. Could consider cropping a little more (top and right ) and keeping the full berries in the bottom left
Well done !
The bird itself exhibits a nice pose. Good environmental presentation. I think the bird would stand out better if it had more contrast. A tighter crop might also help
Wonderful color match between the bird and the BG!! I would also experiment with some crops – for me it feels like there is too much visual weight on the left. With a static pose, I don’t feel the bird needs room to fly into, so I would remove the right 1/3. If you have more of the berries in the LL, it would be interesting to include them. The high key exposure is interesting and gets my attention, but lowering exposure a bit could be good for comparison.
Hi David, I like the composition with the berries and a nice view of the bird. I agree with trying a slightly lower exposure but otherwise this looks good to me.
Very nice with the colors in the finch and berries. Good detail and nice head turn. I, also, could see a crop on the right and you might play around with the contrast to see if the finch can pop a bit more.
