Had to crop it a bit, because of a distraction, thankfully getting this image was worth it as I had to suffer a little bit of rain for this one

Hi Nishand. For some reason this is not enlarging when I click on it, so it’s difficult to judge the image quality. From the image as presented, I like the pose, but the bright out of focus bloom on the right is pretty distracting. It’s difficult to do much about it except possibly crop some off that side. I imagine this bird is difficult to expose given how dark it is, but I think I’d up the exposure on it a bit more to try to bring out at least a hint of detail in the shadows.

Interesting shot with the varied depth of field. The yellow splotch does distract somewhat from bird and flowers which present plenty of rich color.
