The photo looks unedited. Nice snapshot, but not much going on. Some creative cropping or something might have helped.

Gorgeous detail, color and clarity in this wildlife capture and he's wwell positioned in the frame, too. No bird is quite as majestic.

He's all puffed out. Must be cold! Just a bit of contrast would have given this more "oomph"

looks a little washed out... probably a little more contrast/saturation would have helped.

Could do with a bit of darkening on the contrast but still a very nice capture.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

First impression: Nice shot but I feel it is unbalanced, find my eye drawn to the glare on the berry.

Artistic: Very pretty and definitely a shallow dof, but maybe almost too shallow?

Technical: I think more of a crop on the right and less crop at the bottom would have given you a stronger image. A faster shutter or smaller aperture may help reduce the sheen on the berries. They feel a little too jammed into the left side and then have too much negative space on the right.

Overall: This was a very punishing challenge in terms of votes, so don't feel too bad about the score. If you are able to reshoot then go out and mess around a bit, see what you come up with.

Feel free to PM me,
