Critique Style Requested: Standard

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

Description

I always enjoy seeing this guy going thru our backyard. What lookers they are. This guy was in and out of the late afternoon sunny spots.

Specific Feedback

Cropping? I slightly darkened the BG to pop the subject a bit, and got rid of a few eye-pulling bits.

Technical Details

Z9. 180-600 lens, Nikon 1.4 TC, monopod, 1/1000th, f 9.0, 1260mm, ISO 1400, cropped to 3649 x 2846.

Dave, fine detail in the quail and a nice head-turn.
The BG’s bright spots are distracting, so you might consider darkening them further.
nice catch!

Hi Dave, a real looker for sure. Cropping looks good to me. He pops well enough to hold my attention in this image. Wish we had these guys in my neck of the woods.
