Out of focus and not the best angle for this image in my opinion

I like the vibrant colors, and how you can see the texture of the feathers. but I'd like to see more of the face.

I am not sure that the top of his head is the most flattering pose for this subject. Nice colour though.

Excellant detail. I like the different perspective to the other lorikeet photographs in this challenge.

interesting and different perspective; sharp detail of the feathers; maybe clone some of the white specks.

A unique shot at a pecular angle.
I think it is the best macro that I've seen in dpchallange.
Really nice job

This angle is not so attractive, the beak and eyes are what really make this bird special aside from the splendid colors..

A beautiful capture full of bold and rich colors and textures. Congrats on a very worthy entry... :)

great detail on the feathers, but as a macro, it's more like something you'd see while practicing. Doesn't really draw the viewer in, the lighting is a little flat, and the colors too "light", and lacking the deep feeling that would draw them out.

9 from me...good luck!
01/18/2006 08:27:53 PM
Nice unusual angle to take this from, and it shows the feather detail really nicely :)

Nice detail in the feathers and great colors. I'd like to see some bottom and left cropped off the gray and green blur pull my eyes away from the bird. I know you want to watch not to crop the beak too close - perhaps if you tilted the picture a bit clockwise first?

Wow...the bar has definitely been raised. Amazing picture! Very, very good...

Nice angle. The flecks of white are distracting however.

Intersting angle - not sure I'm liking it though. Probably just a erpsonal preference, as I like to see the faces - especially the eyes of living creatures. Nice colors and shallow DOF.

Good sharpness on the top of the bird's head - and nice blur to some of the background. However, I don't find the angle and composition of this photo appealing. I think this is too close and would rather see a more natural and upright angle.

Nice blue feathers! Clever macro - I wonder if a tighter crop wold have made the image more of an abstract, since we cant see the bird anyways, but I don't see a god alternative. the lower right seems to mute the color overall, just by covering up a little of the gray makes the blue bluer. Something to learn next is how to clone out the white spots.

Great detail, amazing colors.
01/16/2006 04:21:29 AM
These are just awesome colors in this shot. A very unique point of view here, from the top. I really like how you've used dof, and this pov to show off what the shot is all about- the colors. Very nice pic :-)
