Bigger bird on a bigger stick

The colours are super Sandy and your crop/framing is interesting. The bird seems a bit cramped inside that frame.

Nice colors but much too tight for my tastes.

Thanks for the suggestions - here is a re-post.
I trimmed the tree back from the beak a bit, and a few other small changes.
