GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB!

Nice photo here. I agree with Galina about the greenish cast on the feathers. The image looks as if it is a bit dark. Maybe a levels adjustment to bring everything up a tad. Otherwise the detail on the bill is nice and sharp, nice colors there too. Its a shame that there wasnt maybe more reflection/glare coming off of the eye, that way it would have a little bit less of a flat feel. I think maybe the only real major improvement I could suggest is a more interesting crop/composition, as Mavrik has alredy noted.

Good shooting.

Wow, great capture. It's not tack-sharop but under the circumstances I can understand.

I'm just going to start hunting down everyone who includes a CD in their shot and hit them with a fish, I'm afraid I've already burnt out on it...

Okay. Granted, the prism-effect is cool, but did you HAVE to?

Also, the background for this is really bright and distracting given what we're meant to focus on.

Wow, a definite 9. I love the swirling saturated colors, and the transparancy (and reflection) of the body of the tack.

Looks over processed or ... something. I like the colors, but the technical feels wrong. 6
