Post Feels like somethings missing

I took this earlier in the year at Bushy Park near Hampton Court, it's a good shot but I feel it lacks something, can't put my finger on it. Please let me know what you think...



Thanks in advance for your advise.

Hi there, love the image but feel the main subject is a little too far away and for a more interesting image I would have cropped it to take it away from being so central in the image. I would love to see more of the bird and trees in the background. This is a super capture, just want to see more detail
Looking forward to seeing more.
David.

^^^Agreed, the subject is too small in the frame. You could also crop it aggressively to make the bird the undeniable centre of interest.
