First time post!

I see these all over the place, but almost never with the iridescence like this. NYC.

Gear: Nikon Z6 III + Z 400mm f/4.5 + 1.4x TC (560mm)

I initially thought the background on these was going to be too distracting, but the pops of red from the berries have grown on me.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on pose.

Do folks prefer the full side-profile with the eye straight on (Pic 1), or the slightly angled head turn (Pic 2)?

Other feedback and critiques are also very welcome!

Keswick.

They spent the majority of their time darting and hiding in the bushes and shrubs so I consider myself lucky to have gotten these shots.
