Likely the most photographed bird in NW Florida.

Well done.

Very nice image. Perhaps cloning out the lower branch would remove a minor distraction.

I tried it both ways and preferred this composition as the yellow/orange on the limb helps to lead the eye to the bird and give the eye an easy lead out.

Nice shot and color. I wouldn't consider that lower-most branch (orange) "leads the eye to the bird" though (?) - as it is moving underneath it. What it does do though is create graphic structure/stability in the image - in that that branch and the branch the bird is sitting on create a diagonal line that intersects the axis line of the birds body (which has an additional "white band(s)" moving in same direction behind it) which moves in an opposite direction. There is a visual "strength" in that.

This is how I framed it during the edit...and it is his beak that leads the eye back to the lead in branch...I look for tools within the image to both give direction and support.

May blurring the branch, as if out-of-focus, can reduce the attention it's claiming?
Cheers,

Or darken it so that it is closer in appearance to the other branches.
