Thief

[Colin Driscoll]

Not the usual habitat shot but part of this bird's habitat. A male Eastern Koel (a cuckoo) thieving my neighbor's cherry tomatoes.

Colin bird looks great . Habitat is what it is cant blame the bird. Details on the bird are nice I like it different been nice if the basket wasn't included. TFS

Hi Colin. Nice details on the bird, I'm fine with the tomatoes and dead leaves but not in love with the crop. For me it needs less room on the left and more on the right. This would remove some of the metal basket. I'd also clone out other parts of the metal basket too. TFS

Shot looks super sharp across the entire bird, so well done on that front. Eye contact lovely as well. The bird is too tight in the frame and - cool as the tomatoes are - the cage kills this image for me, sorry.

Well i take it these birds like tomatoes. The bird is pretty tight here. Nice and sharp.
