boring

Out of focus or fuzzy (try unsharpen mask) and the glove is a horrible touch. A crisp clear shot on a branch would have done well.

Its pretty cool. Would have been better if you could have made it sharper.... perhaps on a white background.

Nice photo. The focus is just a bit soft for my taste.

Nice colours, fits the challenge well. Focus is a little off and I couldn't tell if it's grainy or your background has a patterned texture. 6

I have one of these! :) Her name is Sunshine Sunlight!!! Anyhow, I like the idea, but the photo is out of focus. The crop is nice.

This is a nice study. (a tiny bit out of focus) but not enough to hurt.

Pretty bird and good idea. Maybe try upping the contrast to make the background white and to bring out the colors of the bird. The focus on the hand is good, but the bird's head is blurry, and I'd rather have a clear focus on the bird than the glove. I like the way you cropped it and didn't center the bird vertically. Score: 4

Good color. Needs to be more sharp. Subject is a bit too centered.

Focus is off or this image is so heavily cropped that the resolution is lacking. Considerable noise detracts from the image. The gloved hand adds absolutely nothing to the interest of the bird and just detracts from the beauty of the animal. The subject fits the challenge description, but the lighting and position of the bird's head is uninteresting.

If the image had been sharp - I believe it would have been in the top 3 for this challenge.

This is a great picture. It meets the requirements for the challenge perfectly!
03/25/2004 12:48:26 PM
Would be great if it were sharper!
03/25/2004 05:39:58 AM
cool shot, it's too bad the focus is off and the light is so poor.
03/25/2004 12:41:15 AM
not clear enough... plain composition; nice parrot :)

What a pretty bird. I really like your picture, think it would be even better if it was in better focus. Also, I think it would be nicer if the hand didn't have the orange glove on it - that way all the color would be in the bird and the orange glove wouldn't detract from the bird which should be the main subject of the picture.

Lighting seems dim and the focus is soft. I also find the hand distracting. I think the idea of the bird is good if you could have caught him on something else.
03/24/2004 08:59:11 AM
Plenty of orange but slightly out of focus
03/24/2004 08:44:34 AM
This would be improved if the bird's head were in focus, rather than the glove. Since the glove is orange, you may have wanted it to be the focal point of your picture, specifically, but as a general photographic rule, anything with eyes should normally have the eyes in focus. The viewer's eye is naturally drawn there.

I like the position the bird is in and all, but this pic needs a little more light and a little more focus in my opinion.
03/23/2004 10:18:15 PM
the background could be better..another color perhaps, or a texture. The bird seems a bit soft, lacking in sharp detial on the feathers of the heard. More USM perhaps.

cute pic
