Really nice job. My favorite so far. His head, however, does appear to have a double edge on top?

The wires from the cage in the background are way too distracting and keep me from really focusing on the bird itself. Also, set against such a light background, the bird almost appears a silhouette, and doesn't do justice to what appears to be some really nice, colorful feathers.

Well, I think the extremely light background makes the giraffe's face, especially the eyes appear too dark. It probably wouldn't look as bad again a background, say, full of the trees in the lower half. The sharpness is nice and good job on waiting for the right moment to shap the shutter when it was looking.

The background lookds really distorted, like a bad filter was applied to make it look sketched, or really posterized or something. The bird (is that what it is?) is not very sharp, especially in the face where you are drawing the attention, and the rooftop is almost completely blown out. The winds and feathers are very nicely exposed and very sharp. Nice work on those!

Nice work on this photo. Even on a bright, sunny day, there are only a few small areas that are completely blown out, and a few shadows that lose all detail. My compliments to you.

Great work! There is so much clarity and definition in this photo. I hope it takes a ribbon. You did a nice job in all areas.

Nice try at a unique lizard, but poorly done. Colors are too saturated on the lizard, the hand is too distracting, the focus is too soft and there is no apparent detail in the lizard.
