Sorry don't get the perspective improving the pic. Focus is not so great.

Mostly just a macro shot. This appears to be from his should height, so that'd be one mighty tall ant!

Also, it's pretty blurry.

Great closeup. Are his eyes really that color?

Comment by LalliSig:
Thumbnail looked good but wasn´t pleasantly surprised when I opened this, it needs much better focus, it´s way too fuzzy for my taste.

Oh, nice turtle eyes! A had to confess, didn´t pay so much attention to turtles eyes. But talking of the challenge, sorry there are only a point of view (PoV) not a perspective here.

Comment by Car54:
interesting, but hard to find any true perspective here. a wide angled lens would have worked or even a point-shooter with little depth of field to exxagerate the angle would also work--good colors, just a bit blurred. good potential overall.

well I don't know what a turtle's perspective is but the perspective of this creature couldn't be any more "up close and personal!" The dramic effect jumps right out at you! keeps you wondering if he just might think the same looking at US!?! I realy like this photo

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: As I mentioned in my comment during the challenge, the focus seems to be off just a little. It looks like the grass is more in focus that the dead bird. Closing that aperture and using just a little fill flash would have helped this even where the camera focused.

Lighting: The lighting is pretty nice. The white down feathers at the bird's butt lost a little detail. That adds a small distraction, but the remainder of the image seems nicely lit.

Composition/Content: I like the basic composition, but it has a slight crowded feeling to it. The feather touching the bottom left corner is the sole reason for this. Opening up the crop just a slight amount would easily remedy this.

My Opinion: As is, the image score pretty close to its potential. With better focus and just a slight adjustment in the cropping, this would be well above a 5.
