| This would have scored higher in my opinion if the focus was a bit sharper, and if you used the flash to get more light on your subject. |

| Way too dark. Perhaps use of fill in flash would have made the bird stand out better. It doesn't work as a silhouette. |

| Too dark, the detail of this image was lost and that is a shame because it could have been a very colorful and interesting image |

| I feel the impact of the colours from this shot is lost as the bird is so dark. |

| He seems to be to dark against the blue sky... |

| Th exposure on the bird is too dark for me to appreciate the bird. Because of the lack of lighting on the bird, I find my eye is andering around the photo for something to settle on. JMO. |

| To me, the bird itself seems to be too much in shadow without actually becoming a silhouette. |

| To underexposed to see the bird...but to much detail in it to be an intentional sillouhette. |

| This is really dark. I wish that I could see more detail in the bird. |

| good composition..i think it would be even better if the bird was a complete silhouette |

| Way, way too dark. You would have benefitted greatly from taking this photo at another angle, (if possible), or having some sort of fill-flash. |

| I don't find this to be a goood subject for a silhouette. I'm guessing you were attracted by the shapes of the nest and the twigs but there seems to be too much going on with the wires and the spot of blue leads my eye to nowhere. I'd like to see the bird clearly. Instead I'm looking at a boring wire structure and an equally boring patch of sky. I reccommend next time, in shooting a subject that forces you to point your camera to the sky, you bracket your exposure because this is a case where your light meter is being fooled by the amount of light coming from the sky (this may be by setting your EV rating to + something or you may have more sophisticated equipment that allows you to do this manually). Of course, you may already know this information and were simply going for the silhouette effect. |

| I think the bird is a little on the dark side. |

| The 2 basic things that instantly marr this photo is the light and how it's composed. It's so dark that all details of the bird are lost and yet it can't pass off as an interesting and clean silhouette. Composition is usually (altho' not in all cases) more interesting if you follow the Rule of Thirds. Here you could probably position the bird more to the left on an imaginary vertical third of the frame because it's facing right. Let me know if you'd like some help. I'm no expert but a couple of basic things can certainly be done here to show you instantly a difference. |

| Bird appears out of focus. It has lost all detail because of the strong backlighting. |

| Too dark, unfortunately, maybe increase exposure by one stop to see the bird, or decrease so you can silhouette the bird. |

| I like the hint of red in the silhouette but I wish I could see more detail. |

| The wires unfortunately distract a bit, and the bird needed a bit more lighting to really see him. |

| The edges of the look like a very pretty red color, it made me want to see the detail of the bird rather than the silhouette. |

| Backlit photos are hard to do. You have a great subject here, and an interesting angle, but due to the white clouds in the background, the bird (which should be your main subject) is severely underexposed and almost just a silhouette. Not sure what camera you are using, if you have exposure compensation, deliberately overexpose, or use shutter-priority to achieve the same. You'd have a much stronger photo then. |

| Sorry would have loved this without the cage. It's also a little distracting because it's a silhouette, bt then can see red colour and some detail, but not quite enough. 5/10 |

| No detail on the bird,use flash sometimes ! |

| centered composition leaves the image static. I like the fence againstt he clouds - interesting approach. |
