Cute how the cardinal is peeking into the frame. Maybe too much negative space though?

This is a nice photo, but something does not work for me. The bird generates some expectation, but the bukeh does not supply the answer. I really like the bird. It seems like some story here. But something is unfinished. It would have been a great picture if the bukeh added to the story. Bukeh to me is not just a fuzzy background. It is a great way to enhance a picture and tell a story.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: I tend to agree with Derek here. The saturation, contrast, and the softness of the clouds make my eye immediately disagree with what its seeing. Unfortunately, that is one of the losses of HDR.

Lighting: I like the color layer you have at the bottom of the frame. I'd really like to see this one processed without the HDR.

Composition/Content: Nicely composed, and a perfectly straight horizon. Very nice.

My Opinion: I think that this entry was scored and placed appropriately.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric
