Interesting effect with the distant trees and clouds. I had a feeling this was taken with a shorter focal lenght even before reading your exif. The right bird's HA is just a little off, and I personally find the raised wing a little distracting. Good interaction though - and perfect exposure/sharpness.
Hi Stuart,
Daniel covered my thoughts but will ask.....where did you crop?......if it is the wing area......maybe putting a bit more in?......not sure there as that may have brought in other distractions.
