I'm sure you;ll get comments about dof, but I am ok with it for a front-facing bird. It is sharp where it needs to be. Beautiful bird with nice subtle vibrancy. The main issue here, IMO, is the perch: bland and thick. They won't always land on the pretty ones, especially if not setup. The BG is rather wonderful, and you did well to go for a vertical here.

Love the colors and details in this canvas. That eye is wonderful. TFS

A nice view of this flycatcher. The framing is spot on as is the background.
