First time
First time this young lady posed and worked in studio. Just finished her Masters degree and is now pursuing her PhD.
A few shots from Germany
Just a few interesting details walking around a couple of towns in Germany. In the second one, I was just captured by the setting sunlight in an alley.
Black Red Belly
Spotted close to walking trail in Ebor NSW. Intense body colour indicates recent skin shedding.

We just came back from NE Oregon location scouting Zumwalt Prairie and Enterprise/Joseph area as well.
A friendly talk
At least that is what it seems...

Thanks for posting Andrew.
First off let me say that all opinions in this group are subjective and personal. All should be considered (and respected), but the final product needs to align with your own artistic vision and not that of others.
All should feel safe to express themselves, no opinion can be wrong.
Back to the subject. I really like what you have done here, I love the capture of birds on the feeder, and great tonal range.
If it were my own image (and again to suit my personal preferences) I would try the following;
1. Straighten up the window - the bottom and left especially are a little off (OK, so I'm a little anal....)
2. I think the image may lose something with the feeder being so central. I would suggest cropping the image, cutting out the left pane, and perhaps a little top & bottom until you feel the balance is right. I think that would create more balance (for me) and place more emphasis on the the birds/feeder .
Overall a wonderful image, I really hope to see more from you, and hope you'll feel comfortable engaging in other discussions.
Alan, thank you for the warm welcome and the fantastic critique! I am very excited to be joining this group of talented folks.
Thanks Andrew.
I see you are living in Vermont, small world (I am in Williston).
Excellent! I'm right in Mad River Valley on the Granville line. Maybe, I will see you out shooting sometime.
