I did do an auto fix in Elements 10 with this photo. It looks like I perhaps missed the little bird focus and hit the branch just above it's head perfectly! shucks!
I was wondering about cropping, I was trying to keep the eye at 1/3 with area to fly into! Is that okay or is there to much dead space infront of the bird. What about the auto correction is it too red? Warm?

I like it just as it is, for whatever that's worth. Focus, color, crop .... all that looks good to me.

Very pretty!

As for the crop, for me, there is too much dead space. I think that the diagonals/angles of the branches would keep the comp interesting even with a much tighter crop.

I don't think it's too warm. Looks just right to me.

And I do agree about the focus being just a bit off. It's not a huge distraction, though.

Thank you to all for taking the time to help me become better at what I love. I tried a bit tighter crop and I do like it a bit better It wont be a 8 x 10 on the wall but it looks fine on the digital frame!

Taking a nice look at your photo .... I really like it.

I agree with everyone but, was wondering what it would really look like cropped a bit. It looks like you solved that & that's what counts. It's your photo.
