| Very nice! Like my shot, it goes to show that the middle of the pack in a DPC challenge can be a top award winner elsewhere (same as my macro shot). Congratulations Colette! |

| Superbly captured and should certainly have scored much higher in my opinion. |

Positives:
Interesting minimalist composition. Technical quality combined with a good stop action capture are it's main strength. Nice bright backlighting framing the bird.
Technicals:
Solid technical quality. Color, lighting are fine. Looks like you maximized your camera settings to get as good of stop action as possible under the lighting conditions. That is tough when you have to anticipate the action like in a shot such as this.
Despite the shallow DOF the background still looks more mottled than smooth and that is slightly distracting.
It is generally better to capture these shots from the front rather than from behind. That is it's biggest compositional defect. Its a very solid image, though.
The Challenge:
This image scored middle average for the challenge. Voters thought this image was run of the mill. I voted this one 9, which is well above average by my scoring. I like the capture, general technical quality and framing. If taken from in front of the bird it had got a 10.
Suggestions:
You might consider doing a rough selection of the bird and applying some gaussian blur and/or noise reduction to the rest of the image to smooth out the background.
Next time try to capture that bird flying toward you. LOL!!!! |

great timing to grab this shot but there is too much empty space on the right hand side and would perhaps benefit from being cropped slightly?
It is a shame the little fella is flying away from you and not towards you as it would have been great to see the face and not the bum lol |

| Too bad the bird wasn't facing you. Maybe the title should have been bird butt ;) |
