Real Angry Birds - looking for CC

[Wild.Bird]

This is the first photo that I'm posting, so I hope I'm doing this correctly. :blushing:

I captured the Eastern Bluebirds in the beginning of December, on a nice and mild day. In post, I warmed the shot up a little, bumped up the saturation, bumped the clarity up a smidge, cropped it and sharpened it.

What do you like about the shot, if anything?
If this were your photo, what would you have done differently?



Thanks!

Maybe rotate the shot and crop out the post/feeding station??? Still, kind of a nice moment you captured!!!

I agree 100% about the rotation but not about the cropping of the feeding station. I do think there is too much negative space past the station. Suggested crop, including some quick dodging/burning – let me know if you prefer that I take it down:



Welcome to the forum, by the way.

Thanks Derrel and Invisible for your comments. I never would have thought to rotate it. I like it a lot better this way!

One thing I'd do is straighten it so that the feeder doesn't look like its leaning.
