It's hard to see the birdies. Maybe cut back on the contrast?

He's wise to be wearing the hard hat.

One example where color doesn't add anything to the picture but detracts. Switching to b&w would allow to dodge and burn more effectively to emphasize the birds and what is going on.

+1. But it's going to be tough to separate those birds from their background.

If the guy put some of the birdseed on his hard hat, the separation would be easier.   ;)

Thanks for the feedback. Because the birds were black and white i thought the contrast between the colour and the birds was best. Russ quite rightly stated any more separation would be hard.

that's the kind of photo that could inspire a novel or movie about a "regular working man".  great!

have you tried a 2:1 crop?

edit: regarding color, how about reduced saturation rather than black and white?

Personally I never crop with a ratio in mind only with content in mind. A reduced saturation approach looks like a worthy idea.
