To me the blue-red-black color makes it work. Tiny critter...

Nice capture Bruce. 
If it were mine I'd crop it vertically to zero in more on the bird.

Great photo. Don't crop it, though! Uncropped it has just the right
balance of light and dark, of black and blue, of red and blue.
Cropping it further would IMNSHO ruin the photom make it just a boring
bird illustration. Why are there all the 'croppers on the list eludes
me ;-))

Good light!

Objection noted.

The vertical orientation of the bird makes me want to accentuate the
vertical. The space on the LH side detracts from that orientation. I
wouldn't necessarily crop it all away. I probably would have used the
vertical length as the longest dimension and kept (1.5:1.0) proportions to
do horizontal crop.

I believe I said if it were mine... ;- )

Great capture Bruce!  I might be inclined to crop it a little tighter, but
it works a-is.

Beautiful shot. I love the black and red against the neutral background. Very 
nice. I think I'd crop as well, but it's always a tough call.
