Hope that marker washed off. I really like the tight crop here. A bit more light just into the eyes to make them pop would help (IMHO).

excellent stop motion image. nice job. The eye is perfectly in focus, and you can almost see the intensity of the bird in his expression. a 9 from me.

Fly the Flag of Freedom

Comment:
Wow - could have fit in the members photojournalism challenge - very topical (in Canada, at least). Nice crop, too. If I would suggest one thing, I might have flipped this horizonally, so that the flag flowed out to the right, instead of to the left (not sure this would be legal in basic). Since my eyes typically flow left to right, this change would make the image easier to follow, for me anyway.

Comment:
great focus - really nice and sharp. A bit more space above the birds head might help, sort of giving him some room to move. He looks a bit cramped.

That's cool. I didn't know that geese dove down into the water like that.

nice play of colors. Seems just a bit flat, though, somehow. Perhaps a tocuh more contrast, although I'm certainly no expert.
