The focus is off. The lighting is very harsh which give the shot no depth. It also has no illusion in it. It's a straight forward shot of a bird...

I'm not sure what the illusion is but i think it needs to be more in focus. It is very difficult to capture a bird in motion i know because i've tried. From the title i assume it is roadrunner?

A try for the brown ribbon?

I don't see the illiusion, the focus is off, and the processing could be better...3

Not really getting the illusion here. It's a roadrunner, its running...I'm missing something?

This all looks a little soft to me.

Nice capture. Two things that would improve this shot in my opinion are better composition and a less busy background. For the composition, I would prefer to have more space to the left of the image insted of centering your subject. For the background, just a tad bit shallower depth of field would have blurred it enough so as not to be too distracting. Right now it seems to be just blurry enough to detract from the image itself.

Love the look on the bird, but the focus is bit soft.

Interesting illusion. More of the image in focus would be help make this shot

Is this a road runner? I'm not sure of the illusion here.

I burst into laughter and rolled around in my chair when I read the title. Funny stuff.

LOL - made me laugh. Used to love the Roadrunner & Coyote cartoons. Neat shot, but the OOF & overexposure is distracting.

A bit blurry and possably cropped a tad too much. Nice movement though. Looks like it's flying!

to bad the RR isn't in focus

A very good attempt at capturing a roadrunner in action. However, she really needs to be in better focus.
