I'm glad you tried the HM title. I should do this too. I like the comments you got - I think they are helpful for sure! :)

| Bird is out of focus -- but maybe that's a good thing. |

| A rather disturbing photo - one that's sure not to score well here. Also, your lighting is way too harsh. The wing pointed up is a "nice" touch. |

| Really unpleasant photo... I'm sure I won't be the first to say so. As a photo... the focus isn't very sharp, and it could do with a levels adjustment in Photoshop, there doesn't seem to be enough tonal contrast. Don't like the shadow running mid-way across. The top half of the photo looks carelessly composed. I don't like the way the pavement cuts the picture in half. 3 |

| I like the contrast of the drama and emotion of the dead bird with the random everyday items behind. It gives this image a sense of meaninglessness. Nice work. |

| The concept is OK. Colours are rather dull, greyed out, almost softish. It seems to me that for this concept you'd need either a strong duotone/bw presentation, or better colours. Also, I think the vertical format doesn't do justice to the picture: all the distracting elements to the top are "distracting". The flower pots in particular give a sense of peace and tranquility that doesn't seem to go with the dead bird. I guess, what I'm trying to say is that in general a good photo addresses one concept or issue squarely, no distractions (remember, I said "in general"), and in this case I don't see why breaking this general guideline helps. |

| I like the composition (though the subject choice doesn't appeal that much), but the exposure seems off somehow. It is bright enough, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of "detail" visible. (Of course, that might be a good thing) |

| No question, it's dead. The gross subject matter makes me lose interest. 4 |

| The upswept wing is dramatic, but I keep wondering what the relationship is with the fire hydrant or the planter. |

| HM ok this should be fun ;) I think its too flat needs some more contrast and the picture itself I would like to see it taken from another angle mabey turn the camera landscape or something I dont know .... the stuff above (red stuff, dont know what its called) is a little distracting from the bird. Anyway Thats all I could find to say. Good luck ;) - 6 |

| This one's a top "gross"-er. The splat is too unfocused (intentional?) that it makes me want to probe the picture more closely to know if it'sreally what I'm thinking. |

| My eyes are not sure where to look. The curb divides this into two separate shots for me - both not holding a lot of interest although I tend to lean toward suggesting a crop about halfway and just using the upper portion because I have a bit of an aversion to dead animals. Focus seems a bit soft - but I imagine you were in the middle of the road trying to snap this pretty quickly. Overal this is ok but doesn't hold my interest = 5 |

| I see you have HM in the title so I assume you are looking for a non-surgar coated critique. Well, here goes, the image is very graphic in color, I would suggest B/W to tone it down a bit. The focus is soft on your subject, and the background objects are distracting. I think if you were to change those items, it would be a more compelling image........ |

| The title suggests that the Questions have been answered. Also, it doesn't raise any questions in my mind. So I don't think that it fits the challenge well. A bird was hit in the road. Also a very not pleasant subject. The lighting looks poor, and thank goodness, the focus also seems soft taking away a lot of the detail of your subject. The background is quite too dark, and overall just not a pleasant shot. ~Heather~ |
