Went on a photo walk with the local photography club today. This pic is one of my favorites so far.

What do you think as far as the focus etc,What could I have done to make it better?

Pretty nice shot and I would be tempted to leave it be. But since you asked, :smile: he is centered in the frame. Moving things look more natural if they have more room on the side they are looking to. Just a nit pick and he is dashing in his blue flight suit.

Nice shot, I agree with Jims comments , I would have cropped away more of the background also to increase the size of the subject.

Thank you! yes I seem to have a problem with always wanting things centered, I think it has something to do with my OCD and my mathematical mind,

Very nice photograph. I Have to agree with the other two commenters. It would benefit from a tighter crop and I'd move the subject into the right hand side with less of the twig showing.

Given the fact these "things" don't stay still for a long time, it's an awesome shot. Yes, it could have been not-centered, but it's still a great one. Wished I could catch one like this.
