White-crowned Sparrow

[BAL Land]

From a few days ago in my yard. Not a setup. Critiques appreciated, especially in terms of the processing, it was quite a difficult one to process.

Canon 70d, Sigma 150-600 C. 1/200 sec, f/7.1, ISO 1000.
Image downsized for posting.
Thanks!

I like the back/side lighting…to my eye it looks like the image needs to be straightened a bit?…and my eye is constantly drawn to the lighter circle of color just above and to the right of the Sparrow’s head; I would consider using PS to even out the tone there. Nicely done.

If this was my image, I would increase the contrast and saturation a smidge. Just a personal preference. It's a nice image.
