Looking like they want to make even more baby Starlings ;-) Great detail and certainly an interesting pose. Looks like it could use a little contrast boost or darkening on the midtones and shadows. Just a little. Really a wonderful image.

Effective choice of both aperture and shutterspeed.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Initial impression: Yummy! :-) Unusual subject matter, but compelling the more you look at it. Good use of Topaz, because it's evident you used it, but not over-done.

Technical: Nicely done use of thirds. Looks very vivid especially for an overhead shot, which usually risks looking flat.

Artistic: I find the eye a little creepy, which is good, as is the frozen-open mouth and nasty pointy teeth.

Overall: Good work! Pity it didn't score higher, but Free Studies are always tough.

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

Very surrealistic effect here. Nicely done. One to frame and hang.
