Critique Style Requested: Standard

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

Description

I caught these two black-headed grosbeaks arguing over whose feeder this is. They are very cool looking birds and I’m happy to get a look at their underwings and tails.

Specific Feedback

Cropping? I decided to leave that large white BG area in the lower right alone. It helps to pop the black tail. Yeah?

Technical Details

Z9, 180-600 lens, Nikon 1.4 TC, monopod, 1/2000th, f 8.5, 690mm, ISO 25600, cropped to 3142 x 2475

Nice job catching this feeder squabble, Dave. The spread wings on the bird on our left really show off the under-wing colors beautifully. (That looks like a really well designed feeder as well.)

Excellent interaction and angles here to catch it. Nice colours on the birds, especially the undersides. That bright area on the lower right is a little distracting , but should be easy to calm down a bit so all attention is on the birds.
Wonderful catch!
