Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge

What an extraordinary bird, very distinctive though your capture is technically sound it just feels rather inanimate as though the bird is stuffed and nailed to the tree. The exposure has worked well for the bird but at the expense of the tree which is significantly overexposed with some loss of detail. I'm sure you have done well to capture this bird, I don't know how rare it is, your lens suggests that you were quite close to it, but I'm sorry I can't really get excited about it, it is missing the wow factor.

Well done, thank you for your entry.
