Siblings Cavorting

Critique Style Requested: Standard

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

Description

I’ve been fortunate to photograph a local pair of black squirrels which are rare (one in ten thousand worldwide) but there are population concentrations here and there. These siblings were playing tag here. It was a challenge getting both of the right. One is jet black and the other is more mottled gray/black.

Specific Feedback

Cropping? Also, is that strip of grass at the bottom okay?

Technical Details

Z9, 180-600 lens, Nikon 1.4 TC, monopod, 1/3200th, f 8.0, 570mm, ISO 11400, cropped to 3387 x 2272.
