Nice pose and I like how he is framed by the berry clusters. Details and colors look great too. Well done

He is an outstanding subject and his presentation is as equally outstanding. Great shot.

Thanks for looking,

Wolf, I like the overall shot. But for me, the perch appears to be the main subject of the shot. An idea--if you could clone out the far left set of berries, and then move the frame in from the left and maybe take a little from the bottom, the bird would be larger in the frame and this would make the nice perch more of a compliment to the bird, instead of vice-versa?

Great composition and I like the setting. Bird is nicely isolated. The bird and berry bunches form a nice diagonal through the photo. Because of that, I might clone/crop out the center, bottom berries to make that diagonal even more strong. Great photo either way.

Best,

Matt

Wolf, I think both shots are excellent. It's interesting to see both shots side-by-side to compare. I think it boils down to your personal preference.

I like the original. RE the re post - I would make the far right berries disappear. To my eye they are too distracting being right on the frame's edge.
