Time of day has provide you with ideal lighting conditions. I love the bokeh.
I would crop or clone the tree branch going out of the frame on the right and the stone in the bottom right corner. Its important to check all the borders to eliminate unnecessary distractions. Posted: 10/07/2025 18:18:51

That bird has such an inquisitive face. I do think that a tighter crop on the right would be great as it would help remove some of the distractions. I think that beyond that the colors and lighting are fine and don't need any modifications. Great Shot! Posted: 10/14/2025 01:42:49
