Preening

Something a little different; the Orchard Oriole preening.
This one's lacking detail... might be a bit of motion blur there...
Z9, 180-600, handheld w/ SharpShooter Mount, exif included.

Lovely shot. I'd be tempted to crop down from the top..about 6". It would also reduce much of the dark areas, too.

For me, the tighter composition just makes the weaknesses (lack of detail) more apparent.

I prefer the lack of detail, it gives more emphasis on the shapes and colour, almost like a painting.
