What are your thoughts on this image?  Is it too busy or is there enough eye contact and bird showing to make it interesting?  I have plenty of clean perch singing images, but felt this was a unique perspective.

Canon R7, Canon 600mm f/4 II IS, ISO 1000, 1/500 @f/6.3.

Regards,

Terry

Terence, Understanding that one person's gem is another person's lump of coal, it is too cluttered for me. If the beak had been clear of the grass, then I think it would have been an excellent habitat shot. My 2 cents.

Pictorially, it is a busy as thought. As a documentary image, showing its feeding behaviour its spot on.

My thoughts too.  Horses for courses, as we say over here, Terry. :)

Great to see one eating in their habitat, Terry. I found a pair of them nearby but the setting is not nearly as nice.

The dreaded bill covered by foliage!  :-)  The bane of my existence.  Thanks for the comment.
