I didn't know for sure what the diet was untill I took this photo. The photo was taken with a flash and the camera was fired from about 25 feet away with a remote control.

*Greetings from the Critique Club*

First of all let me say that I think that the image did meet the Macro V Challenge. Although, not a traditional macro, it is a close-up.

Second, this is a very nice shot. However, I think the score suffered a significant amount because of the white border on the bottom, rather than the composition or technical aspects of the image.

Without commenting further on the white bottom border, I think the composition is great. The DOF is pretty good (although I think the fledgeling could be a little sharper). The heart-shaped hole in the birdhouse is cute/endearing. The color (IMHO) could be bumped up a bit and still look natural, as most of the colors are a little drab. You did a great job of not getting glare from the flash - the lighting is good.

From your profile, I see you are somewhat of a bird aficianado and have taken some great shots. This is a really good shot too, but I think it's score probably suffered from some voters' more strict or traditional interpretation of "macro". I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Just my 2 cents...

6 - I reloaded this page because I thought part did not load down the bottom, but it seems it is the photo. This IS a good shot, 'if only' it were closer and more detail. Very good 'capture' though. Perhaps a different cropping, a little 'color adjustment', not sure.

Pretty cool, except for that white portion at the bottom could have been cropped out. Looks kinda dirty and dull for eye popping color. Good shot though.
