Hi Steve,

The oof fg may be a little too dominating, but it's a great pose.

Hi Steve,

Cracking pose but I do agree with Pete here about the 'out of focus' foreground being a little dominating. I personally would try cropping a little of the bottom just leaving the tail complete.

Nice shot great PoV. I'd try cropping a bit more to reduce the amount of BG. It's a light coloured bird so the BG shows it off, there is just too much of it for me.
