Can you critique this photo for me?

I took this photo this weekend wall bow hunting. I used my Nikon P500. I am just starting to learn how to use it some. I can wait for fall to get here to take batter ones. I like the color/black and white one of it.

Reported them to be bigger.

I am not feeling the love on the selective color.
The detail is gorgeous! I wish it were prettier detail, but I think you got what you were aiming to get and did it well. Practice isn't always the prettiest shot that gets the "ah ha" moment. You need to watch cutting part of your subject off.

Ok thanks. I am hunting tomorrow evening so ill try taking some more for y'all to look over. Maybe some of so animals to.

Yeah - the first one is better. The selective color/B&W doesn't add anything at all.

What's with the funky background? Looks like it's been compressed down to about 3 or 4 bits.

It is where I zoomed in with my camera win I took it. I did not crop it at all. The " funky Background" was trees and other stuff behind it.
