    I like the look-back pose, angle, BG and the food item adds to it. The perch is a bit large and I might selectively sharpen the head some more. Some areas of the BG look noisier then the rest.

    Thanks Axel, can you tell where in BG looks noisier so I can blur it?

    Pretty much everywhere except on the right side where it looks as if you cloned something out.

    Sweet light, pose, and BG. Axel nailed the critique. I could see a vertical here as well.

    Hi Arash

    It's a nice species and look back pose. I think your critical focus seems to be more on the back than the head? Strange, but the insect is very sharp as is the perch on the left and the back, but the eye appears soft. Of course it could well be my work monitor and the jpeg. :) Thanks for sharing.

    It look like he's gathered supper for the whole gang. I like the light and warm colours, together with the HA showing off his supper. With regards to sharpness, Im not sure if you have re sharpened this, as it looks fine to me. Killer BG too.
