Wow! This is an awesome shot. This is top quality and pitch perfect. I'm going to give you a high mark; however, you may find others will mark you down for having a horizontally cropped image instead of a vertically cropped image. IT seemed to be an issue in the last magazine challenge.

This is one of the best shots yet. The colours and sharpness are AMAZING. I'm going to give this a high ranking; however, ideally magazines need an image to be cropped vertically. Maybe this magazine is different. However, you may find your marks reflect this small point (it seemed to be an issue with the last magazine challenge).

Birder's World

I absolutely love this shot. I'm about half way through and this is my favorite so far. I love the colours. My only issue is that I can tell you've cut around the bird in a few places to blurr the background. If not, it looks like your camera may have some strange halo. You may want to try multiple layers - cutting the bird in different ways - and then having each layer have a lower opacity. It takes a bit more time, but you may find it worthwhile. Overall though, i LOVE this shot. I'm giving it a high score.
