Hi from the Critique Club!

This is a difficult one.

As far as the challenge is concerned, there is nothing in this image that suggests an 'early' bird; the sun is not rising, the bird has no watch on and is not reading the morning paper:)The worm has obviously overslept as he is missing from the image, like the signs of early morning:) But hey, we trust you when you say it is early morning;)

I actually like the composition in a abstract way; the angles created by the green against the blue work well. The plant shooting straight into the middle of this is quite dynamic. BUT....very little, if any of this image is in focus. My eyes are watering trying to do the job the camera failed to do. I desparately want to like this image...but the focus!!!! Enough said;)

Nice use on th DOF. I think the bird needs sharper focus.

where is it? (the worm...)

The center-crop makes most shots very static. Nice angle for the light.

the bird is too blurry. tough shot to get right now.

Nice, but I think you could have composed this better, the bird and plant it´s sitting in is in the dead center, just isn´t working here for me. Sorry.

But it's a blurry bird and it's not actually catching a worm?

too blurry and the subject seems a bit small here.

So where's the worm?
05/03/2006 10:31:38 PM
the bird itself almost looks out of focus.

Where's the worm? Is it early? I can't tell.

Too bad the bird wasn't in focus. Otherwise a nice shot.
