Description
On the same walk as my last post we were trying to spot this guy flitting around in a tree. Luckily we were on a steep slope and he was pretty close to eye level. This was the best shot I managed, but it’s the way we usually see them.
Specific Feedback
Even though the bird is pretty small in the frame, this is already a large crop, so I didn’t want to go any further. Also, I liked the bright background in this case and this crop isn’t too cluttered with stray elements (my taste). I am interested in how people feel about the partially obscuring leaf and the composition.
