Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: The flash is a little harsh, dumping some bothersome shadows across the bird's head and body. The focus is spot on, and your depth of field use is very nice.

Lighting: Again, a little harsh with the flash. Also, the window in the background is a little too bright for the subject.

Composition/Content: Very busy. The cage probably hurt this one as much as voters' opinions that this didn't meet the challenge. Pulling the bird out of the cage would have surely helped it out.

My Opinion: It is not what I had in mind for an environmental portrait. My opinion of an environmental portrait is a person immersed in their work or play environment, looking at the camera with some sort of expression. While it is a portrait of a pet, it just doesn't fit into my personal framework.

Sorry, this does not meet challenge and I am scoring it appropriately.

Photograph a portrait that says something about the subject within the framework of their own environment.

not a portrait in my eyes Re-thought and mark adjusted because it is a portrait
