A Subtle Wave

A rather cute pose. Good catchlight in the eye. I wish he was turned just slightly so we could see the beak a little beter, but....it is what it is. Focus, color and saturation all seem just fine. Nice job.

Focus on the head is one of the better I've seen today, it's nice and crisp. The composition is a little too far right , another words he has more space behind him than in front of him, giving us the feeling he is leaving the frame of the photo. What is better is when the subject is moving within the photo and has more room in front of him than behind. The exposure is about one stop overexposed leaving little detail in the white feathers. Other than that a good shot.

Focus is a little soft or too much crop. Colors and contrast are ok. Compositon might be a little too centered top to bottom for the three geese.

A fur ball with eyes and beak. Nice composition, good colors and contrast. A little soft in the focus as I can't really make out a lot of detail in the feathers but better than many I've seen today. Nice work.

A bit soft. Very nice colors. Maybe too much background and that allows the background to dominate the photo. I think landscape would have worked better than portrait here.

Good composition on this two point landing. cantrast and colors look right, a little hot on the top side burning out detail in the feathers and a little soft. A fill flash would have added a catchlight in the eyes and really helped this shot. Otherwise very nice.

wonderful shot, good colors and contrast and saturation. It's a bit soft, but I guess that could be low megapix or too much crop. Otherwise a very nice photo. Nice catchlight in the eyes !!!

Nice shot over-all. Not quite crisp around the edges even though the focus looks clear. Colors and saturation are good, composition good. Not sure why it's not crisp? Perhaps too much of a crop? I'm no expert here, but something makes it soft?

The best flight shot I've seen so far. It would be better if the bird were a little higher and had even background behind it ( the wing dips into the dark area) by shooting from a lower viewpoint that could have been acheived. Also the eye has no catchlight which is very important in nature shots. Otherwise a really nice shot.

The bird is very soft and not focused well. Colors and contrast ok. Composition ok but really not all that interesting. The bird almost looks afraid and not all that happy with the situation.
