Cute. I like the way you captured the bird in mid stride.

Good detail here although it might be oversharpened a bit, I can see a slight halo around the head.

I think that the background is a little distracting here, it would be stronger with a shallower DOF, IMO

Nice enough except for the schmutz on his beak. I think the comp may have worked a bit better with a bit more space on the right of the frame.

crisp and sharp. the background really hurts the score but the bird itself is good. colors, contrast, saturation all good.

A good capture to show off the specimen, but he (or she) needs to floss before posing. :-)

She looks proud. Not crazy about the background though.

Nicely captured, the sharpness of his feathers and grass is great. Love the weed on his beak
