I think what you write is really good -- really nice simple narratives that introduce your images and that invites us to view your work.You've a gift for that.
You might get a kick out of reading about the 'Gunning fog index'. Google has several listings for it. You are far, far, from needing to apply it.
I used it during my working days to measure written stuff that was written by people under my supervision. It worked and most people did their best
to avoid a high score.

p.s. something like that could be applied to photography. That could be fun!!!!!

The day was heavy overcast, drizzling and windy. As Winnie the Pooh would say. "It's a blustery day in the Hundred Acre Woods." Perfect. A typical day to stay at home with a hot chocolate and your feet up. Wrong.
Days such as these bring out fantastic saturation in colors and backgrounds. Which brings me to the title. If you're a bird photographer then getting a good image of your subject is paramount but there are three crucial elements to a good composition. Bird, perch and the background.
So often I see pictures of birds where the BGs are either white or vivid blue from a clear sky. On overcast days there are so many other choices and especially when your pictures are taken in a mixed forest. Needless to say I met no one else during my session at the marsh and this gave me the privacy required to set my subjects in positions where the BG colors complimented the birds. Since I can't position the bird, I'm the one that will have to move in order to acquire a BG to my liking. Here are some from today where I set out to do just that.
There are a series of seven photographs in this set. The first two show the conditions and environment and the last five are of my subjects with backgrounds that I chose.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll answer what I'm capable of.
