steve100Comment: Hello from Critique Club ;)
Steve, this is a nice photo, I like the way birds are having some sort of chaos. I can certainly "hear" the birds from this photo. There are some things that I wish weren't there such as the bird all the way bottom left corner, and right side is a bit spacey for the whole picture.
Colors are nice, focus right on the spot, both birds in the background and foreground is giving 3D feeling to the whole image, very nice. You were bombed by voters who thinks this is not a Bokeh image, which they might be right. There is a lot of confusion about "What is Bokeh" anyway...
It's a nice catch, honestly though if I did vote I probably would give you around 3 maybe 4. Even it's a nice photo, 1-doesn't give me the bokeh feeling too much, and 2-it's just an ordinary shot of some birds :(
I see you are an animal shooter, and had only 2 entries since 2004. I don't care why, but you should enter more challenges as much as possible. Your scores should go up not go down yet still much better than my first two challenges :P
Good luck on your next :)
