Evening Bluebird

feels too noisy, almost like it was shot at 1600+ iso to get a fast shutter.
the bokeh looks like it'd be nice if it was clean, and the blue/rust comparison is definitely interesting

i like the background here, it gives a unique feel to the "isolated feather" entry

great soft imagery here, the drops turn an otherwise "ho hum" entry into art.

feels too close, the macro is losing too much for me on this one.

"Trophies"
by njsabs

Comment:
this screams "wendy" to me, to which i ask "how does she get her cats to sit so still for her?"
all those times i feel like I'm "herding cats" i would love to know the secret to actually doing it.

the title works marvellously well for this, the lighting is good, and those blue/green tints all through the "collar" are really eye-catching.
This is getting an 8 from me, it may be bumped up after a first pass

Discarded

oh that blade of grass, for something so easy to remove from the image, it takes away so much in my estimation (the oof one going through the detailed part of the feather)
this is a nice setup and variation of the feather on the mirror that many setup, and the water works well, but that green slash is like a cheesy art critic splashed this with their brush saying "No! No, dahling, it simply doesn't work".
still nets a 6 from me

overall nice detail, and a nice picture. there is some glowing around the lower left of the image that feels a bit over-processed, and I'd like to see more detail on the feathers pulled out the way the face seems to pop.
a 6 from me.

Waiting

that's quite the perch
i love how this is equally "stark" and "complete" in its own right
