Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a wonderful overall image, I love just about any animal shots though :)

The motion of the bird is excellent, capturing it in both positions, in and out of the food dish. Really shows the "action" of the shot.

To me the angle of the shot and the cropping seem just a bit off. Capturing birds on film is hard enough so not sure if you could have gotten another angle or not but I'm thinking more of a side view would have really made this picture pop for me. Also the cropping on the bottom seems to high, cutting his tail off hurts this shot to me and the top crop seems just a tad tight also while you could have come in just a touch more on the right.

Hope this helps!

Good Luck In Future Challenges!

Fits wonderfully to the challenge and the title is great too. Like the background too.
What disturbs me though is the green/cyan coloration of the plastic: selective desatuaration might have helped here a lot to take a way the viewers attention from this not so important part of the image.
