Interesting shot, there's a lot going on here with the leaves and all but I think I like the feeling of watching something secret in nature that I'm not supposed to see.

The leaf in front of the bird is distracting and I think the bird needs to be in sharper focus.
 03/15/2009 03:04:26 PM
Focus is a bit off
 03/15/2009 08:35:35 AM
The bird should have been in better focus and the colors saturated a bit more.
 03/15/2009 07:00:57 AM
oh I have to give 2 for the quality. sorry ...
regards brano

Could have been a nice shot but there is too much clutter in front and the focus is on the front leaves and twig instead of the bird. Surely this can't be the best photo you ever took?

Nice moment captured.

Focus needed to be on the bird

Very pretty bird.

tough shot and you actually did well, A little color correction is needed here. Focus could be crisper , lighting is a little bland here. Better post processing can help here , 6

Interesting nature study...

A neat find, wish the bird weren't obscured by the leaves.

The photo may not be the best technically, but by capturing the bird (a bunting of some sort?) in the process of weaving it's nest, as a part of a natural history study it is invaluable.
 03/14/2009 11:18:30 AM
shame the bird isn't in focus
 03/13/2009 10:05:59 PM
Try for a less obstructed viewpoint.

Aptly titled. Feels a little busy to me ... my eye can't decide what the subject is. Maybe that's okay.
 03/13/2009 08:22:36 PM
I like the subject and comp. Could use a bit more contrast or a levels adjustment.

For bird photography, in fact for any wildlife photography I fear, the eye is necessary to make the viewer connect with the subject.

to me it is a little to cluttered, then nest looks interesting.
 03/13/2009 02:29:03 PM
Focus should be on the bird. I like the colors, though, including the bizarre green sky.
 03/13/2009 02:05:37 PM
Good capture!

What a builder! Nice to see how the yellow colors fits together.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:00:31 AM
I wish the focus were on the bird and not the leaves that seem to simply be in the way.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:41:12 PM
to much between me and the bird...
 03/12/2009 08:47:35 PM
Lacking focus and colors are flat but nice subject!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:52:50 PM
Little to much going on in front of the bird and nest.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 05:15:55 PM
I like the greens and yellows in this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:42:31 AM
looks like a nice secure home
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Looks like you had to get pretty far into the tree to get this photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:32:32 PM
I know it's the wild bit I wish this photo didn't have so much clutter detracting me from the subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:23:50 PM
A unique capture of actual nest-building!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:44:42 PM
Interesting shot, just too bad the bird is obscured by the leaf.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:04:00 PM
Interesting shot, I like that the perspective is unusual.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:15:19 PM
the focus is too soft the bird gets lost in the foreground leaves.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:00:53 AM
should have moved around to see the bird more not the leaves
 03/11/2009 03:38:59 AM
A bit out of focus I am afraid
