*Critique Club*
It has been mentioned, and I agree that the biggest problem with this is the focus. I can see that it was taken at a distance (backyard from kitchen) and that could be most of the problem. I'm not familiar with the Celestron C-5 spotting scope, but my guess would be that this shot was pushing it's limits a bit.
The color is nice. For the challenge, I'd probably like to see more reds and blues, but the slight bit of orange does break up the yellow a bit as to make it not TOO overpowering.
The angle and framing/cropping is ok, I might like to have seen a bit more at the bottom, maybe some added wing or body? I think in your attempt to get up close and personal, you may have gotten just a bit too close.
Lighting appears to have been good. Probably just natural lighting, but it did work to your advantage. The yellow stands out nicely and is quite vivid. I do wish though that his head didn't blend in with the background. The tip of his head seems to just get lost into the black background.
It is a decent background though, no distracting elements.

| Tough subject to catch in focus. That seems to be the biggest problem with this. The top of his head (black area) melts into the background, so I think a bit more lighting overhead would have cured that, if possible to do |

| This is nice and close but it lacks the sharp focus necessary on such a close up shot. Your camera might not be able to focus at such a close range. Keep trying. |

| Extremely blurry. Good pose - could use the reds and blues, too. |

| You certainly got a close up here. It could be clearer. Color is excellent. |

| This is almost great. I know it was a difficult shot, but just a little bit crisper, more in focus, and I could have given it two more points. It's just blurry enough to make me feel I have to adjust my glasses (though of course that wouldn't help). If it was a far/shaky shot, you could have gotten some sharpness by losing a little size, and improved the image immeasurably. |
