Nice spoonbill. Did you try cropping on the spoonbill only, might have been even better.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning.
Looks like it's about to roll over and land on its back. It's a terrific capture though, and dead sharp. 7

Critique Club Review:

Nice picture. Your score suffered a bit due to the lack of an abstract element. But still a very good photo.

Focus and depth of field are very good. The subject is nice and sharp, the depth of field isolates the subject well from any distractions in the background.

The exposure of the bee is very good. Detail is spectacular. But the flower burns out and loses detail on the upper surfaces. Also the highlight on the bee's back, just below the head is approaching burnout. As this is an advanced challenge, some dodging and burning in this image would help.

Nice touch with the sharpening. A job done well as it is not obvious and introduced no distracting artifacts.

Very nice picture.

good colors here, but I don't find it terribly compelling

I think this is borderline "using someone elses art" There's just nothing really done here to qualify it otherwise.

Purple on red is risky but works here.

It's almost a warning sign against the potentially playful greenery.

A good try here, as it is very clear and sharp...

would have been a better shot for green ;)
