I think the way you have captured the birds with this awesome sky in the background is great! You should crop out the bottom area. I don't think it adds to the photo it takes attention away from the birds I think. Still nice work, good luck in the challenge.

Spectacular shot, Renee! The focus is very sharp! And the colors are so very rich. I can't see how this didn't score better. (didn't vote this one myself) The closest thing to a complaint I could see in this is the glare off his body, other than that, it's perfect. (I'll read the other comments...)
O.K. it seems most didn't "get it". I don't understand why people cannot vote each picture on it's own merits. (Saying it's cliche, or should have been in a recent challenge just aggrevate me.)
As for the background...this might have been a good shot for a really narrow DOF, say F-3 or F-3.2 or there abouts. Blurs out more background and so, adds emphasis on the subject. I like seeing the environment, but I guess photographically, it's not that good.

Pretty. Simple. Did you need the white part at the bottom?

Man those clouds look they are on fire! The silohuettes of the two birds are so effective against that amazing sky. I personally wouldn't have included so much whiteness at the bottom of the image tho, it is distracting.

Well the top part of your sky is beautiful, but the birds are a little far away.

Ahhhh... the DPCer will love this one i think. :-) I like it but the white at the botom distracts me from the birds. Considering the amount of clouds, cropping the white out would improve it IMO. Still a nice 7 from me. Great capture!

I wouldn't mind a bit more cropping to get rid of the white at the bottom. Very pretty colors! Good luck!

Beautiful sky, but the birds don't take up enough of the frame for this to work for me. Shame about the burnt out highlights at the bottom of the frame. 6
