Hi Joe
Nice shot which I reckon would be better with the bird more to the left. It would cut out some of that top left "thingy" which is abit distracting.
Took a while to come in too on my steam machine.
Cheers

very nice image, never seen one of these, quite like the the mess of out of focus vegetation front and back but like John says it is a little central

I agree with the previous comments. A nice bird though, and always good to get them with a beak full of flies

I like the subject and main branch but find the OOF stems etc a bit distracting. Taking a chunk off the left would eliminate a lot of them and decentralise it, which would help I think
