The composition is enjoyable. I love the beak open, the stance, and the muted, out of focus background. Excellent coloring and good exposure!

Hello Paul,
Beuatiful photo of this Eastern Kingbird in a very nice pose with open beak. Good natural colours, POV, composition and OOF BG.
Regards,
Peter

Hello Paul

What a delightful shot here, veru neatly composed using all of the frame and i love the soft tonal BG. I see a small amount of pixalation around the beak area but its not majorly distracting. Over all a superb shot.
Thank you for posting.
Kind regards Helen

Hallo Paul
This is such a beautiful bird and I fancy the soft white belly and throat feathers. The opened beak, showing the yellow and orange inside of the mouth really adds the extra sparkle to this beautiful bird. I like the way your subject almost fills the frame entirely, bringing it closer to the eye. In my personal opinion the image deserves an A+ for beauty. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Great shot of this little bird - the open beak adds a sense of life and movement to this photo. Great control of exposure - TFS, Cerys
