Juvenile White-Winged Crossbill

I wish the daylily wasn't so prominent in the photo but I couldn't figure out whether I should cut more of it off, whereas now it's clear it's a lily.
So beautiful bird!!!

Very proud bird

I feel your pain! But I was drawn straight to that proud expression and the head held high, so I didn't notice the lily till afterwards!

Oh - the very superior bird really did steal the show - even from the bright foreground. :)

If you use Photoshop you could have selected just the daylily and desaturated it some so it wasn't so bright. It is the brightness that distracts the eye. I am not saying to make is gray just less bright. When I look at the whole picture my eye is distracted. Of course, I was looking at it first in my feed and moving it up so I saw the bird before the daylily. But it is an excellent capture. I only mention it because you questioned it.

Beautiful close up

i quite like the colour the lily adds, and it's like it's reflecting up to the crossbill's throat

Beautiful image! Great detail. I agree with Clare, that the lily brings out some of the color of the bird. Fav.

Fabulous capture. This lily does a lot of good. Brightens the photo and covers the net. It could be a little less, but here you have no possibility of cropping.

Nice shot

Really nice photo of this handsome bird.

I also think the lily is nice and makes it special. You could still try soften it a bit (saturation and/or brightness).
