Hi Karen,

Neat image, love the capture of the bird.

Composition - Well done, I like the way you used the bench here as a leading line bringing us to the gentleman sitting on the bench.

Framing - Again well done, we seeing just enough of the bench any more would have been to much. I also like the placement of the bird here you gave it just enough room so we can see it flying off, any less here would have given us the illusion of it smashing into a wall or something, well done.

Exposure - The bottom half looks pretty good the top half however is way out of wack, I think what may have happened here is the view finder was not covered. What can happen is light passing though the view finder plays with your metering causing place's in the image to under expose....try blocking it next time esp if the sun is over head or behind you it can make a huge difference.

Over all this is a really nice image catching the sence of motion in the bird was really well done. Keep up the good work.

Cool how ya caught the bird flying through the frame but without it and the title to bring it to everyones attention, this doesn't have much holding power.

A little extreme in tones from top to bottom...but a great image all the same..especially with that bird. Good capture.

Love the fact that the subject is shoeless which really adds to the 'off guard' moment that you have captured. Bit harsh on some of the whites though which are quite distracting
