Hey there from the Critique Club
Camera Work/Technical: The colors you captured are terrific, but I think the overall image could use a little more sharpness.
Lighting: You did a really nice job using lighting to create a very strong silhouette. I think you captured a really strong balance between the shadows and the colorful background.
Composition/Content: I think here is where your score fell. Echoing other voters that have commented, the background is too busy. I think if you'd have shifted a bit to the left and shot him without that tree in the background, this capture would have finished much stronger. I know, nature is very hard to script.
My Opinion: Nice job meeting the challenge. I do believe that this one came pretty close to its potential as is. With a different composition, the score would have surely grown.

| I like the silhouette a lot. Wish it were a bit less busy in the background, though. 6. |

| The background spoils the main attraction to this photograph but the sillhouette of the bird is very well photographed and it must of took you a bit of time to capture him! |

| A nice approach, and almost a nice shot; if you'd been a bit either luckier or more careful with the arrangement of the silhouetted trees, and if the background weren't so half-light, perhaps this would do well. It has an impression of lack of sharpness to the bird silhouette. Working with odd shapes, like this - I mean the surroundings rather than the bird, requires a careful eye and some real consideration of composition, which you haven't achieved here I'm afraid. In the end, it just looks messy. |
