Really like the look of the field. Awesome picture! (would like to know how you got the corn to look like that sometime)

curious as to your choice not to clone out (or otherwise diminish) the gray stripe coming down from leaf's right. you put lots of post capture work into this (thanks for sharing) but seemed to choose not to touch that.

This is just lovely. I like the almost gray of the green background. Lovely DOF. The rich emerald stems make a nice linear statement. 8

The dark BG in this highlights the features and eye very nicely. I suspect that you may have brought this shot up from being underexposed by the look in the darker areas of the feathers. It's a lovely shot, and the bit of noise gives it that "film shot" effect. Grays are noisy so it fits. Grays are the most wonderful of birds when they are in their "sweet bird" mode.
