Fox sparrow with seed

Are the chromatic aberrations too bad? Any thoughts on the overall composition?

I think the composition works well (like you're looking over his shoulder). The CA is not overt or bothersome, but I would like to see it just a tad lighter as the eye is barely visible on my monitor. I can see you're walking a very fine line trying to make sure the water behind doesn't blow out, so maybe just a slight boost to the shadows would do the trick.

Thanks for the reply, jetrim. Is this any better?
