Anyone who shoots birds (feathered kind or not) is ok in my books :)Wonderful form, bokeh and catch light. I'd maybe work a bit on the gloss and denoise of it as that is what DPC wants. Then again who am I to judge? My wild birds battle to ribbon here...

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a shot that needs a little more work. As it stands, it looks like a snap, and a mere snapshot simply doesn't stand much chance in a FS. The bird is dead-centred in the shot and the hard shadows detract from the very decent capture. The wire adds some dynamism to the shot, but that's it. As a Nikon person too I am often frustrated with the noise, and this could use some NR. That, and a little saturation to bring out the hues in the bird would have helped a bit.

Hope this critique has been useful. Meantime, please keep on shooting and entering!

Feel free to PM me,

Susan

I think the grain adds something nice to the overall image.
