The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Normally, I have a handful of these birds every summer, along with the females. This year, I have seen two males I know of for sure, but only one comes around regularly. And no females. It’s been a bust of a year for the neotropical migrants in my yard.

Very good, Terry. One of you best in my opinion. I love the little head turn and you caught him on a very nice perch with light that really brings out that blue.
Terry, I am really drawn to your beautiful photo. The position of the bird is priceless. The tilt of the head reveals one eye in the front-on pose. I think it makes the picture. Your depth of field is spot on. The simplicity of the background further accentuates the beautiful blue feathers. I feel the branches are detracting from the bird. A tighter crop would help eliminate some of the distractions. Darkening the wood would also help deemphasize it. Finishing off with a gentle vignette would also help keep the eye on the bird. Terry, this is a wonderful picture. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice Terry, great pose with that head turn and that stunning blue. Great BG too to set him off. I like this composition but I’m wondering about a crop on the right that eliminates the trunk all together. Either way a fine image.
