Hi from the CC

There are some obvious flaws that you are aware of by now i.e. fence causing cross hatching effect and a lack of sharpness on the hawk. as i'm looking at your picture it seems like the shot was underexposed and then adjusted in photoshop. my experience with dslrs is that this tends to lead to softer photos with less sharpness. another thing to consider is raising the iso and aperture in order to maintain the same shutter speed but increase the sharpness. also maybe the case was you didn't have a tripod and were forced to hand hold the shot. any or all of these factors could lead to a softer looking shot. it would be nice to see what you could do with a low iso in bright light with a tripod. i think your shot would be much sharper with greater color contrast and vibrance. take care

very nice capture....cube is not totally in focus but i doubt that is really possible...the splash is completely in focus and and your exposure is excellent..great job...9

could use neatimage on the sky, and less sharpening as there is significant haloing on the edges...4

i think this type of thing would have benfited from either a completely center or completely off center composition..it's kinda in limbo right now...exposure and sharpness are good and background color are nice as well...6
