Critique Style Requested: Standard

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

Description

I was sitting out back waiting for something to shoot when this gray squirrel came hoping up our driveway. I liked how all four feet were in the air on this capture.

Specific Feedback

I did not clone out the pine tree deals from the shot. I didn’t see the need but should I have? Cropping okay?

Technical Details

Z9, 180-600 lens, Nikon 1.4 TC, monopod, 1/3200th, f 9.0, 378mm, ISO 5000, cropped to 1512 x 1141

Beautifully captured ‘in air’ !
You may go more rectangular here.

LOL! It pays to always have a camera ready!
Love all 4 feet in the air
I agree with Jagdeep that a 5x 7 frame with more room in front and back would work well
Nice capture!

I love the position you caught him in! He looks nice and sharp. I wonder about making the bright brown background a little darker and maybe the squirrel a little brighter? I feel like my eye naturally goes there because it is so bright. Just a thought. Really good catch!

Great timing to catch this one in the air Dave. Nice detail and action freeze.
