Glenn Pure2022-05-27 11:59:53Welcome and great to see your first post to our site! Compositionally, I think the photo is quite nice as a 'bird in habitat' shot. Technically, it looks well focussed and sharp. In terms of tone and colour, it is a touch too dark for my taste but the main issue is the colour of the bird. The grey on the bird has an odd colour cast to it. The colour should be a fairly neutral grey (red, green and blue channels should have similar values). At present, the blue channel is considerably higher. This can easily be corrected by adjusting the colour balance in your editing software or changing the white balance in your RAW processor to achieve a more neutral grey.
