Hi Wendy...I think you have handled the harsh light well . Your bg is clean and the subject shows good detail. A nice capture of feeding behavior! Well done! I hope to see more of your work!

Great photo. Nice and sharp with a good clean background which I never seem to be able to get.
I don't know if I would have cropped this tighter into a portrait format. What are your thoughts on this?

Thank you, Iain! Good point about the crop: my only concern is that cropping the image on the right would remove the space into which the bird is looking. But cropping on the left would probably help, in that it would not only retain the "space" on the right, but also place the bird a little off center, which might make the image more "interesting".

Hi Wendy, I can see your point about leaving space on the right where the bird is looking.
I do like your original composition and I am just trying to understand the why people have chosen the composition they have so I can improve my own images.
Is the posted image full frame or did you crop it to get this composition?

Hi Iain,
I cropped the image slightly on both the right and the left. My main goal in cropping was to provide space in the direction in which the bird was looking. I participated in a short discussion of composition on this forum several months ago, during which Jeff Cashdollar addressed some issues of composition. Here is a link to it...it may help.

Great capture indeed and I like the perch
The colours are lovely and exposure well handled, the crop works for me, perhaps I might have taken a tad off the top if this was mine. Lovely clean background, and the catch is a bonus!
Kind regards,
Wendy Kates thanked for this post
