Comment by Teafran:
A good solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed but less than a complete success from it's rather unsaturated appearance give it an over exposed look which also affects it's artistic impression. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal. A good entry into the challenge.

Really grainy and soft. Looks like an extreme crop. Photographing a bird in flight can be hard, as you have found!

Overexposed sky, and not enough contrast. And a skew horizon. All of this can be fixed, even if you screwed up the original. You should learn how!

Reaching too far with the lens on this one :) I hate that when I take a zoomed pic and think it's good then see the purple and cyan highlights all over it when I look at it on the computer (and I've found dark birds to be the worst for that!). You must be a pretty steady hand tho to get the level of focus that you have. Keep shootin'

I love the detail you've brought out in the flower, and yes, it looks like a crepe paper flower! Also cool is the blurred echo in the background. What neat flowers, what are they?

What marvelous formations! Are these tree stumps?? wow! I love the horizontal lines of color; stumps, pink flowers, green leaves, blue sky. What a great location!

A very pretty place, try to take this at either end of the day (whichever has the sun behind you the most) when you can reduce the glare, and also get the sky to have some colour.

"A Pig Walks Into A Hair Salon"

Comment by raish:
Definitely an ace picture, but hereabouts the genre 'candid' becomes 'dpc candid', naturally enough, and unfortunately you dip out there.

Pig facing the camera would have pushed this higher (not that one has a whole lot of control over that). The inclusion of hairdresser and client reflected in the mirror is great.

Another one bites the dust, but, you know, pigs are used to that...

Looks a little over-exposed.
