Nice pose, I might crop a bit tighter top and bottom. Maybe square?

Looks pretty good given the 2x and high ISO. The eye contact is fantastic - best part of the image IMO. I do think the bird is lost in the crop as is. Bottom of the frame feels a bit empty with the leaves at the top and the bird's upwards gaze. Don't know what you cropped away, but I'd play around a bit to see what else you can generate.

Hi David, nice image of a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. The colors and detail look good. I agree with Dan, maybe crop more off the bottom. I think the IQ will hold up to the crop. You were fortunate to have the separation between the leaf and the tail. Thank you for sharing.

Very fortunate indeed... Don't bait... Just chase... You gotta be fortunate for the luck and to all for very valued comments.

I agree with cropping much of the bottom for the reasons already stated. I love the pose and the large leaf above. I also like the bit of spider web.
