He's a little round because he's juvenile, and also because he lives near a fast food joint.

This photo seems a bit darker than it is on my computer.

Not cropped, but I zoomed until I could pick up detail on the bird, and I wasn't that far from him to begin with.

You're saying you'd like more space around him. I've done a few of those, but haven't liked the results because the animal seems to get lost. Perhaps a matter of learning where to place the subject in the view finder?

Yes, thinking about how you frame the shot, and changing your vantage point is another way - like maybe the subject would show up more against more blue sky and not so much tree or leaves (depending on what's possible from where the subject is.) For this photo stepping a little to the left might have put the bird against the sky as a background but still had some leaves in the background. I think this is a nice composition, it looks a little dark on here to me too but still I think the concrete and the leaves to the left act as a nice way to frame the bird and give the picture some interest.

What fast food place is this bird hanging out at, is your bird feeder the neighborhood fast food bird seed restaurant? LOL

Ha...thinking of it that way, I bet the birds do see my back yard as fast food. This one's a McDonald's bird.
