Hello Andrej and *Greetings from the Critique Club *
You are fortunate and received many valuable comments already. Most say that it is a great image (I agree). The strengths are: 1) Excellent use of a bird in the rust challenge - it adds a nice variety. 2) Exposure is good. 3) It evokes emotion in many viewers - which is great!
So - how can we take an already great shot and move it higher in the challenge?
There are a few things to watch for next time: a) The very white area behind the bird detracts a bit because it's the area in the image with the most contrast, b) If you watch carefully - you can often catch a glint in a bird's eye ("catchlight") which makes the bird more alive and adds a lot of impact. This will happen when the bird just turns its head a tiny bit, just watch carefully and c) It's usually better to allow more space in front of the subjects head than behind it. In this case - position the tail close to the left side so the bird's head would have more room in front of it.
Finally - some DPC scorers don't like borders much - just make sure it's really want you want and doesn't compete with your picture.
So - GREAT JOB - keep shooting and best of luck to you.

| Seems to be slightly out of focus, or soft, but what a great "expression" on the bird. |

| This shot has it all - great detail and texture on the bird, a humorous situation and, of course, the required rust. The bird's pose and expression truly give an impression that it is thinking exactly what's in the title. |

Very lovely. The lighting is a little harsh on the tile in the background and the shadow across the chest is also unfortunate.
A 6. |

| I guess it's a silvereye, isn't it? Congrat for this capture. It's not easy to get a shot like this. |

| I like the fact that instead of just taking a shot of rust, you have found a way to include another main subject, but include the rust in the surroundings. Makes a more interesting shot than many. |
