Bird Watching

Beautiful bird!

The black and white feathers really pop! The focus on the bird looks pretty good, seems a tad soft, but that could just be from compressing the photo to the needed size.

The natural looking background and light work well, I think the muted tones of the bark help make the bird stand out. I do wish the full bird were in the image, it looks as if the tail was cut off, maybe if the image wasn't so tight on the bird that would help the composition, plus give just a bit more environmental background to add some more interest.

Over all the image is quite nice, the only really distracting portion is in that upper right hand corner where the light is glinting. I gave a 5

Return for comment. Super shot--love the close crop, the way the colors interplay, and of course the message.
