Critique Style Requested: Standard
The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
I got more conventional images of a Boat-billed Heron later the same morning, but I loved the “cloaked” look of this one.
Specific Feedback
I would have preferred that the fork in the large branch not be there, but I didn’t think it made sense trying to get rid of it. I did remove some brighter twigs that intersected the head. Let me know if I left any tell-tale signs.
