I like this powerful pose.

[John Mack]

The low angle is nice and i like the pose here. Pretty neat looking bird.

[Isaac Grant]

Dan please list which camera you use. That info helps.

I very much like the proud pose and the details in the parts that are in focus. But for me the bird is much too tight in the frame. And I would likely clone out the seed it is eating.

Isaac,
Thanks for your critique.
It was taken with a Nikon D610 although I am not sure what camera make has to do with criticism....
I understand all other technical info but really?????
As for the tightness, that is sort of the point...
As for the seed, you never saw the movie...
Thanks.

[Isaac Grant]

Camera and lens make a huge difference to critique. What 600mm do you use? Everyone lists what they use and their settings. And I am a big De Niro fan but I would still lose the seed.

[Daniel Cadieux]

The seed, in conjunction with the title, adds a humorous touch and in that context it works. Otherwise, as a standalone image, I'd lose it as well. I agree the subject is rather large in the frame. The low angle is great, and so are the details and colours.

[Arthur Morris]

I am with Isaac. Much too tight and lose the seed. And I would do some clean-up as well. The detail on the blue breast is fabulous.

with love, arite
