| The backlighting is lovely here, bustard or no :-) Poor guy, saddled with that name. A difficult cropping situation probably kept you from reaching a 6+ with this. |

| The backlit grass is great and I like the bits of bokeh in the corners. |

That bird is looking right at you, wondering whether you want him to move out of the way so that you can take a picture of the grass. Then he thought he would stay; it's his home, after all. You can take the picture around him. Wonderful.
Having read the comments (something I only do after I comment), I agree; it's not a centered composition, and I keep following the flow of the grass. Thanks for not cropping that out. |

| To me the composition is as much about the grass as it is the bird. If anything, I see it as a two-thirds/one-third arrangement. I would have been reluctant to crop and I'm a crop queen. |

| this is gorgeous. and it is not a centered composition. there is a big difference between a centered subject and a centered composition. |

| Ah, you got good stuff that day! I think it's a lovely shot, nicely sharp, with interesting textures and halo light around his head. I think the composition hurt the score, though. Dead center leaves my eye to wander around. I wonder how it'd look cropped in on the right? |

| What a flat, flat head it has! Not sure about the centered composition but I very much like the lighting and background. |

| Nice image - Great sharpness - Like the grasses - Maybe just a tad borng on the composition as he is bang in the middle but great tones and exposure. |

| An off-centered composition may have worked better in this photo. Also would like to see some of the body. |
