Funny old character! Good composition to show context.

Wish that barbed wire fence wasn't so distracting. Looks like it is coming out of the ears. Not sharp enough on the head, but I can't tell where your focal point is in the frame (maybe on the bottom wire?). Nice title. Good in the field capture.

I believe cropping the top would have been nice. The lighter colored barbed wire and the water at the top of the image takes me away from the bird.

Oh! I like this one! Just a fun image with the bird's expression. Focus is a bit off--unfortunate.

The only thing that detracts from this is the fence, otherwise a good capture

I think I might have taken the fence out

i really like how you captured the water at the top to compliment the water at the bottom. perhaps you could have taken it from an even lower pov to move the bird up in the frame and still get the water at the top. i wish you woud have cloned out the fence-6

The barb wire is distracting, I would also have liked to see more detail in the head.

What a cute bird. God really had a sense of humor when he made some of these fellows, didn't he?? :)

this one would have been awesome closer up to the bird and some of the top cropped off. maybe it wasn't possible? 7.

A tighter crop would have been nice...I have never seen a bird looking like this, I live in New Zealand, we do not have them like this

the barbed wires don't go well with the scene.. its very natural and very pleasing scene, but the wires feel very alien... As for the bird, hmmm shadows on his face, lacks clarity..but I still like the overall composition... 6
