Greetings from the Critique Club!

I feel like there are only a couple things you could do to make this a stronger image. The first would have been to get the right wing in focus - difficult at best, but clearly would have strengthened the shot. The second is the crop. I think the negative space serves no overwhelming value in the shot and perhaps making the branch from bottom left corner to top right corner would have made the composition a little tighter and stronger.

I love the lighting effect and I think it's one of the better chosen subjects of the challenge. You have just enough in the background for it to not be plain white and boring, but not distracting.

Good work and keep shooting!

The backlighting is evedent for sure. Diagonal composition is very nice. Border a bit heavy.

I'm sure I'm not the first to tell you that this looks really good. Now my hunger has been amplified. I won't deduct for that though. :D

Comment by Tanveerhawk:
seems like skylight, u could make it a bit dark and more highlighting area, especially the wings...

Definitely a good shot. The even lighting really makes this work.
