At least I think this is a Golden Crowned. Taken last year in November near Vancouver BC

Full frame image cropped to a pano format. I tried adding a bit of room behind tail but is got pretty messy. I was more interested to make sure I had ID of this sparrow correct.

Very nice GCS in a typical environment – they are common down here. If it were me, given the closeness on the left edge, I would remove some of the empty space on the right, maybe coming in halfway to the beak. It’s a very nice image with good sharpness and detail. It would be worth trying to add a bit to the left. Content-aware fill might work well here – it can be amazing.
These are sneaky little sparrows and you caught the important end out in the open. I wish that the tail of the bird was not concealed and the bright patch above the bird is a little distracting. There’s nothing that you can do about those, but next time, you can reposition your shooting angle to provide a more optimal composition. The sparrows head is nice and sharp and like that you caught it with some food in the bill. Well done…Jim
Hi David
Reframing does help wi the overall image and I agree with Jim, "I wish that the tail of the bird was not concealed but you caught the important end out in the open. " (or something like that.). Nice work.
