A little different from other face shots I have seen thus far! Nice, crisp, emotional

Comment by Dvan:
Yeah, this is my lowest score yet. I liked the photo. For me a parrot is an "everyday object" in our house. Tried to give it a "different perspective" by not just photographing the parrot, but to do it from a different view. Auw well. I do have a tendancy not to meet the challenge. Quess I will have to work on that. Thanks for all the comments.

Well, I am really sad because your picture got so low rate... I was one of your 10
What is wrong in the picture? Maybe a little too much light in the right but that also help to concentrate in the eye... I guess your picture was not understood by the 70 % of the voters (IQ in DPC is alarmly low).THE OBSERVER IS THE "EVERYDAY OBJECT" This is im my favourites photographs

I am really depress, many other good pictures got so few points: I am thinking to retire from DPC or be member and only participate in member challenges...

I guess that is the only filter we can apply... usually members have a better knowledge of photos and voting

What do You think ?

Nice shot but I don't think it meets the challenge.

Bird in garden

Comment by sysop912:
The Focus is good, and colours vibrant, however the reeds in front of your "Bird" face is very distracting.

I'm impressed with the detail in the feathers near the eye.

I want to like your idea but have a bit of trouble doing so. There's not much meaning for me - nothing much in focus, a lot overexposed, and not an everyday object in my world.

Comment by Kylie:
The beak over-powers the focus on the eye, and the blown highlights of the upper left of the frame are too powerful to ignore IMO for this to score well.

Wow, I hope he didn't bite you! You could do with a little less lighting on his head - it's a little hard to tell what it is at first.
