A beauty! But a bit central for me . Seriously, I would be tempted to crop out the vertical branch on the right as there is ample habitat in the rest of the image. I love the pose. Can't comment on the detail as I'm connected by mobile phone to laptop which is a bit dodgy.

Yes, I suppose you could lose a bit off the right, it's still a good image though.
I've yet to photograph one
Well done.

great pose and colours here, not entirely sure about the composition though, partly as i don't like square pictures much and also partly because i think the composition is a little too central considering the linnet is relatively small in the frame, still a nice shot though

Lovely little pose captured there Ron, would have suited portrait composition IMO.Wonderful

Great pose, right down the barrel.
I would take the advice and go for the portrait crop too. There is alot of negative space that is not adding that much to the shot, I think the crop will give a lot stronger comp,
Cheers
