Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

I caught this moment of a couple of acorn woodpeckers having a little brush up at our bird bath.

Specific Feedback

I realize there’s a busy BG but, to my eye, it’s OOF enough to stay separate from the subjects. What say you? Cropping?

Technical Details

Z9, 180-600 lens, Nikon 1.4 TC, monopod, 1/1600th, f 9.0, 378mm, ISO 1800, cropped to 3523 x 2666.

I really like the pose of the perched woodpecker and the way it’s eyeing the incoming one, Dave.

Thanks. I really like the little drama going on here.
