It appears that light was pretty low. However, the sharpness is fine. Moving a bit to the left would have been even better as the eye would have been more visible. The overall image looks dark. The black frame takes away some space as you can only upload maximum 800 pixels on the longest side. Borders would appear fine for print, however, for critiquing in online forums it takes away precious real estate, so to speak. How much of a crop is this? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice composition. Photographing a sunbird is difficult as they are very swift. Wish the light was better for a higher shutter speed. Agree with the above comments. Thanks for sharing.
