I only scored this one a 4 and here is my reasoning, hope the information helps.
The bird tends to get blend into the background, with this being an advanced rule set there are ways the background could have been toned down to bring more focus to the bird. If you have PS you can make layers of only the background or only the bird then make adjustments to help make the bird a focal point rather than just part of the image. Also cropping the right side to put the bird at the 1/3 line and cropping tighter on the bird would help. Alway think about what does not help the image hurts the image. |

| Just not sharp enough to score well, I fear. Also, to make the shot more interesting, I would have cropped some off the right side so the subject is not so centered. I'm sure this was a beautiful sight to see. |

| I submitted a very similar shot a while back. Yours is better than mine was, but also guilty of the same flaw. In a challenge with so many crisp, sharp birds (even in flight) this is just too soft. Good luck. |

| just a little blurry and lack of detail is going to hurt you in this, maybe zooming in would have helped |

| A tighter crop would help here i think. Plus the bird is slightly out of focus. |

| Not in focus. Probably a higher shutter speed was required. |

| herons are sure lovely birds - this one seems a bit lost in the grasses due to non-ideal lighting - and the necessary sharp focus to really separate the bird from the background seems to be missing as if it was taken with a slow shutter speed |

| The subject blends into the background too much. |
