I like it, the pose and the prey look really interesting. I selected the sky and simply applied a layer adjustment curve set to medium, I think it makes a subtle but pleasing contrast to the bird and the plumage detail appears slightly enhanced as a result.
Beautiful subject, and I love the bee perfectly lined-p within the bill. My only suggestion (besides agreeing with your self-critique) would be for a vertical presentation as I feel it is tight top and bottom. Good stuff though - I always enjoy a nice bee-eater image!
Yeah, the overhead angle isn't ideal but this is still a nice result, Paul. Perch is kinda cool, and the bee adds interest. Do you have more room below tail? I like the idea of a vertical crop, but I'm not a huge fan of Daniel's will hella empty space above. Could be combatted by adding canvas below if you don't have it.
Daniel: Thank you for the feedback. Agree that there could be more space at the bottom, but the top? seems plenty there?
Dorian: Thank you. On this one I don't have room below...not difficult though to add some, as you say. "will hella"...?
Would have liked a better HA and less steep angle.
