Young Male
American Cardinal. I like this plumage. Once they mature, the red is almost too much. It gets all oversaturated. Thanks for looking!

D3s, D500, D5300, and way more glass than the wife knows about.

Lovely soft background provides wonderful separation.
The green/red contrast really makes the image pop.
A beautiful bird and a beautiful capture.

All subjective of course, but I tried imagining what it'd look like with the bird less centralised - tip of tail more in a corner, with more breathing space on RHS of bird.
Don't suppose it obliged and you got a shot of it looking towards cam in this position?

*Ignore, since originally unaware of other aspect ratios available in Nikon land ... but I still wonder about the comp.

I'd agree ... but the lower left corner of frame can essentally be slid anywhere along the top of the branch and still stay in the corner.
At the moment - to me - it's as if the tail and head are competing for attention because they have a similar(ish) amount of space around them. Altering this balance would place more emphasis on the head, imo.

I think what I had in mind was something between the original and the newer (3:2) one, staying with 5:4, since you said you generally preferred the latter aspect ratio.
At the end of the day my thoughts on this are irrelevant - it's all about whether you like/prefer the result.
...but to answer the Q - in the expected binary manner - yes
