From the Critique Club:
This shot is asking for my what I like what I don't like format, so here we go...
What I like: I love the overall composition of this shot. The eyes of the statue and the bird are very close to being on the third lines. This naturaly gives a bit of oomph to the shot. Love the fact that you caught the bird on the statue. Was this an accident or were you watching for them? I love the potential lighting of the shot. With a little work in photoshop (and I know you can do this in other programs to but am not sure how) you could really bring out the drama of the shot.
What I don't like: I gotta say first off the tree sucks. I know you caught the bird on the statue, but if you were actually waiting for them, moving a little bit may have made this shot the bomb. This shot is also a bit flat. This is probably because of the camera you have. Good dSLR camera's actually make pictures that don't look as good as cheaper Point and Shoot cameras before you do any processing. You gotta bring out the beauty of your shots. You can do a lot of this with a simple levels adjustment. It's also a little soft. Proper sharpening could probably bring out a lot of detail.
In short, you have a great shot to play with. This is a great place to start. Ask questions in the forums and you will get more information on post processing than I could possibly put in this critique. Can't wait to see more of your work. I'm always amazed by what a young eye sees!
Yours
