 We went shooting for "architecture" and this little guy sat still for a whole 2 seconds for me :)

Crop, levels, surface blur on sky, USM... I think that's about it... too basic for advanced, I know, but I like the li'l guy :)

I really like the shape and composition here - pity there wasn't an 'S' curve challenge going on :- )

I like the composition of this, he looks like he has forgotten how to fly!

Neat view and crop on this. Perfect blue sky. file size is a little low. You could have used less JPEG compression and perhaps gotten a touch more detail. Maybe. But you should always set compression to come in just under the limit for a challenge.

You must have had a quick trigger finger on the shutter- these little guys never sit still for very long (for me anyway)!

The bird really stands out against the deep blue of the sky. The more I look at this, the more I like it.

Cutte pose but way too much rope. And the focus is very soft or a bit of camera blurr. colors, contrast etc are all ok.
