You wanted some useful comments on the photo, not the bird so here goes:
The shot is quite poorly lit and, as a result, is quite 'noisy'. This tends to encourage a focus on the subject instead of the photo quality. The contrast in the shot could probably have been aided with some adjustments in Levels and Curves (worth experimenting - even with AutoLevels in Photoshop). The shot is actually well composed but will not necessarily be criticised from a technical perspective due to the obvious flaws above. The bird is indeed a little cutie and I do think that this is your shot's main, if not only, appeal. |

| Nice capture. Could use a little more light on the left to bring out the details in the feathers. A reflector could possibly do this quite nicely but then you'd need three hands. |

| what a cutie. This image had so much potential. it looks like the exposure was too dark, making you brighten it too much.. making artifacts. This would have been exceptional against a blue sky, for instance, with natural light. I hope you have others. What a treat! I hope "he" is okay. :) |

A little more light would have helped this picture, technically speaking.
It's a great photo, though. I want to know if he made it or not. |

There are three things that I would have done to improve the shot (in my opinon of course)
One is to have a different lighter background (white maybe) to add contrast and at the same time have the bird stand out more.
Two is to zoom out a bit. It's like when somebody puts a sheet of paper 2 inches in front of your eyes; you can't read it bec. its so close up. That's how I feel here. Its almost forcing the viewer to pay 100% of his attention at the bird.
and Three is to apply the rule of thirds after zooming out.
Considering everything, I give this shot a 5. |
