Critique Club Critique
(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) – I really like this capture. Though you got a few negative comments about the bushes (trees) in the lower left, I disagree. I think they help add balance to the overall shot. They also give some perspective that would be missed if they were missing. If they were bright red (or something) I’d agree – but they are not. I also love the placement of the bird against the sky-cloud boundary.
(2) BACKGROUND – Excellent. Everything to the right could be considered “negative space”. Well done.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL – Excellent. Did you use a polarizer?
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL – No recommended changes.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO – I really like this. The colors are great, and the bird is very well placed in the photo.

Excellent, but would have been even better without the plants. =-) 7

Love how you captured his face. Can't say much bad. The bird captures your eye and holds it there. Good one. 8 PTL

Nice action captured, but for me the tree in the bottom right really detracts from the overall image. I would have liked a tighter crop, kind of visually releasing the bird from the limitations of the earth.

Skybird? You mean "Free Bird"?

I really liked this shot. Normally I would not have liked so much sky in a pic, but here it really conveys the message of the "sky bird". The back ground sky is a bit too noisy for my taste, but over all great shot.7.

Take my comments for what they are worth for I am just a novice with a new camera. Dodo

Would have liked it even more had the trees been cropped out. Good job.

I can appreciate the reflexes needed for this pic. Great colours

Although normally I would leave something in the foreground, I think given the title, I would not have left the grass at the bottom. I would have cropped it out completely and left nothing but sky and bird. Try it. Nice shot though.
