Hi David,
Like the compositions, the vertical and diagonal lines work for me, maybe a little more room below.

Hi David,
Lovely little bird. I like the vertical composition and the side lighting.
If this is not against your standards I would clone out the OOF branch on the right hand side of the frame and the branch sticking up out of his head.
The band is very unobtrusive so I would leave it as is.
I might also try to lighten the shadows on the right side of the body by playing with S & H in photoshop-if you have it.

Thanks Gail, I agree with all your helpful comments, will have to look into getting photoshop,
I will put u a few more shots as these kinda comments are really helpful in the learning process, having seen some of the images on here it was a bit daunting submitting my fledgling attempts
