Comment by JoelHSmith:
WAY over saturated. It is a beautiful shot... really tremendous... but I think that saturating it that far may have turned some people off.

Aren't these birds just the best for bringing out colourful comments :)
Such naturally vibrant colours in a natural looking setting.

Comment by AutumnCat:
Cute birds and very colorful. The lighting looks a bit harsh and the colors seem oversaturated or too contrasty.

Comment by melismatica:
I like the unconventional framing. I don't like the shadows behinnd the flowers (or the fact they are fake). Try placing the subject a bit further away from the background to reduce harsh shadows.

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

The critique I am doing is for "Geometric"

First Impression - the most important one:
Neat shot .. like the glass .. not sure of the DOF.

Composition:
I like this set up ... it is very centred (but who really cares) ... the mirror effect of the glass is fantastic ... overall a very good photo.

Subject:
Now this does meet the subject ... shape in a toy ... I like it.

Technical (Colour and light):
Its the narrow depth of field that is the issue here. I think that this is a subject where the blurring of the DOF did not work. Really wanted something crisp. This appears to be an issue for a number of commentators.

To grow its vote?:
Wow this is hard .. that was a tough challenge ... I think look at the DOF .. and check and try cropping in different manners ... trying to look at thirds and leading lines for the eye.

Summary:
I think this is cool .. I commend your son on putting together the image. ... I commend you on a good photo ...

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari
