Your bird friend was a very cooperative model ... nice contrast and vivid colors ... the pattern created by the brick provides for a nice frame.

He stood just in the right spot for this shot, great patterns and such a cute little bird. (I'm off to go and see if I can find out what it's called, he looks like some sort of Finch to me :) )

Even birds like to have their pictures taken. Really like the processing in the shot.

nice composition and flow. did you try cropping the picture on the left to shift the bird to approx 1/3 of the way into the frame? this might make the bird feel a little more dynamic and take out the distraction of the CTU in the upper left corner, which pulls the eye away from the focus.

Exceptional image. I love brick pavers laid in the basket weave pattern like this. The bird is beautiful and it looks as if it's standing there communicating with you. Like...how's this look? :-)

Like the herring bone pattern - as if a trail.
While birds can fly, it appears this is a starting point for the little feathered friend - similar to the "yellow brick road" -- which path to find to take?
