Follow the arrow!

This thread could be dually posted in Landscapes/Birds. I would call it a Birdscape :)

Your takes on this are very welcome...

Canon 1000D, 420mm
SS 1/1000 (-2/3 EC)
f/6.3
ISO 400

Full Frame image.

The composition is nice. The bird stands out well in the blackish grey background. I slight head turn would have been good to enhance the eye contact further. Thinking you can crop a bit from the bottom. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image. Without the bush/fallen tree on the left (Rule of thirds position), the image would have been strengthened. What is the meaning of the title? Thanks for sharing.

Here I felt the head was pointing to the slight brighter OOF spot, and with the sharp beak it felt like an arrow head. Hence the name.

Mrudul, Good suggestion! That should definitely improve the image.

Nice image.Agree cropping from the bottom will make this even better.
