I really like the comp here and the clarity of the pitcher and the water. I'm not crazy about the background color. To me It seems to take away from the subject. Still a really nice shot, though.

I have to comment on this. It's so clean and uncomplicated. Good job with the colors and exposure. Personally, it has been sharpened too much for my taste, but that doesn't take away form an excellent image.

Nice and simple. The water jug/jar leads you to what the main focus should be "water". Nice and sharp and the color is great. 7

Greetings from the Critique Club:
This met the challenge for me. I love the "Avian Contour" title and felt that the shape was indeed the important factor in the image. That being said I wonder if you thought of cropping this at the top where there is motion (water) that is unclear. This would have the effect of tightening the emphasis on the pigeon's curves. It appears a bit over-sharpened, especially around the crown of the head and down the back where there is some haloing. The backgound is a bit muddy and, again, the crop might help that. The feather detail is nice and the violet at the neck is a luscious color, especially where it fades into a hunter green that is very satisfying. An interesting entry and one with a fresh perspective.
