Critique Style Requested: Standard

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

Description

We went driving around this morning enjoying the Spring explosion and came across this ash-throated flycatcher that I never see here where I live. It stayed put long enough for me to stop for a shot.

Specific Feedback

Cropping? Exposure? Anything?

Nice catch, Dave. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these. You might want to check your white balance or monitor calibration as the grays in this bird are looking rather blue. The composition and crop look fine.

Did you intend to put this in “Everything Else”?
