Greetings from the Critique Club -

First let me welcome you to DPChallenge. I expect the addiction to grab you quick.

You got yourself a shot of a cool looking bird here. There are a couple of things that it is lacking though to give it a higher score. The shot overall is a bit blurry. The lines on the bird arent crisp and the detail overall is lacking. A sharper focus would have helped out. I think tweaking some of the colors and saturating them a bit more would also do well to make the little birdie stand out a bit better. Maybe even desaturating the green on the rocks might have helped out some.

Your crop is also a bit off. Its not quite centered but at the same time it is not offcentered enough to have a positive impact. I probably would have gone with a true square crop with him in the center. This also would have gotten rid of some of the (what I believe is) water inthe upper corner. The waters color and noise doesnt do much for this shot.

Please dont let my critique deter you. A 5+ score for your second entry is nothing to complain about. Keep playing, experimenting and sucking up as much knowledge as you can from this site and you will be ribboning sooner than you realize. Take it from me.

Funny. Too bad the farthest left one is blocking the face of the leader of the clones.

If only they had red eyes, or looked demonic or possessed in some way - these little guys are just tooooooo cute!
Portrait orientation would have worked better for a poster.

Need a better focus, though your dof and light is quite well done.

I see the potential of the image in the two sheep facing the camera, but the sheep facing all different directions detract from the effect. An extra point for a funny and clever title, though.

Comment by UNTITLED:
Cute photo with a very nice leading line to the focal point. Some of the background sheep distract a little, if the background were out of focus a little more that could add some more emphasizes to the two subjects on the wall. Like the bright color of this, well done!

Lovely shot, but the sheep don't look very demon to me.
