Gorgeous! Perfect use of shallow depth of field. I wonder if you could have sharpened his eye a bit?

I like the contrast and the use of depth of field in this photo. I probably would have tried to get more of the bird in the photo either by taking the picture vertically or by not cropping as much,

Greetings from the Critique Club,


Composition:
This is a wonderful composition. The leading lines formed by the compass work very effectively to pull the viewer's eye to the pi symbol on the slide rule. These leading lines seem even more powerful because they are so much different than the horizontal lines on the slide rule that run through the entire photograph. Black and white works very well here also.


Technical:
Excellent depth of field (DOF) -- the pi symbol is in sharp focus, with the numbers on the slide rule being less in focus as you look higher up on the slide rule. This effect places even more emphasis on the pi symbol.


Meet the Challenge Objective?
Yes, meets the challenge objective very very well. Excellent photograph and deserving of the high placement it received in this challenge. Great work kiwiness!
