Great capture. meets challenge well. The head seems to blend into the brush a little too much. Wish it stood out a little better. 7

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is so cute! I Really like the idea and the concept. Layering the letters was a great idea but not sure about the font used or the color of the solid area. Just seems off for some reason. Maybe something a little lighter on the color and a little fancier on the font.

As for the picture, LOL! I love pictures of these guys and this is a great one. Nice composition and colors on the crab. The sharpness is a bit soft but other than that this is a great overall shot. The average score is probably more from the blue coloring than the shot itself.

Hope my comments help and good luck in future challenges.

Meets the challenge well, but a rather uninspired composition. Getting right down at water level might've put the reeds in the skyline, or had a reflection of the landscape. (Or got your foot bitten off, of course...)

It's not the one you see you have to worry about ;)

Good reflection. Composition feels wrong though - there is too much above the croc

*laugh* This is VERY VERY VERY clever. It takes a rare mind to grasp that animals frying themselves actually benefits someone. I also appreciate the different meaning of perspective as a mental model of the world, as opposed to a literal physical viewpoint. I tried to incorporate that into my entry, too.

As a photo, the composition feels a little off. Not quite sure why. I think I expect the hawk to be facing into the frame instead of out of it. But I can imagine you didn't have much time to take this shot! Just something to think about when shooting in the future.

Yuck! That's for the bird guts part, not the picture. I actually do like the picture. I take the perspective part as not your perspective looking up at the bird, but the bird looking down at you. Kinda like "Hey, I'm eating here. Do you mind?" Really good clarity for a big crop. I like the stray feathers over on the one side. Poor other bird...
