  • Support -- The composition is good, and the image quality is acceptable. It is a great picture to show the species. There are, however, some technical deficiencies: there is some front-focusing, i.e. the focus is on the tree branch rather than on the animal; and the background is quite distracting (though, given the nature of the camera used, there is probably no way to reduce DOF).
