    An excellent image of this flycatcher. You did a great job on the sharpness/detail and exposure with a pleasing BG. I agree about the head turn....but flycatchers don't usually stick around long to pose. I might add a little more room on the right....and take a little off the left to get him out of the center. Well done.

    Lovely bird, getting the bird our of the center of the frame may be a good idea as mentioned.

    There's a technique call 'the rule of thirds' whereby one places the focal point (in this case your flycatcher) at one of the intersection of 3 imaginary lines which divide the image into thirds. Also termed a 'position of power' this technique often results in a more pleasing for the image viewer. I'm not sure why exactly, but it often works. If you search the forum you will find many references to this technique.

    Nice stamp by the way my friend!

    Lovely image Dean - great job with exposure control with the white and yellow underparts, sharp too. Perhaps needs a bit more space on the right.
