Beautifull take, nice title with this bird. Can imagine how quick you need to be to get this right.

this has such perfect detail in the feathers and colors of the blue bird...I am going to try the sheet backdrop this next summer and see if I can come up with something half as good...excellent job

Everything is just perfect about this image. Love the use of white space as it really emphasizes the subject. Great job!

Lovely composition and light.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/25/2010 08:39:26 AM
it's good, but (though it's not) it just looks like a cutout...the white bg makes this a little bland

I love the stop action and how the bird is situatted in the frame. Looks like he's about to swoop down on me.

incredible details here... light is a little hard, but the effect is fantastic... compliments.

Love the spread of the open wingspan of this bird! I see it and it just speaks the word 'soar' to me; free to travel the winds. Colors are beautiful too. My only plaint is that the backdrop of the white environment seems very stark & barren and that is at odds with the 'spread my wings to soar the wild blue yonder' imagery I feel when I look at your main subject in full glory.

Lovely capture the simplicity of it, along with the compositon make it very interesting.

I'm guessing this is vawendy's shot. Beautiful capture.

A great capture of the Bluebird. I presume this again has been done against the white sheet in the backyard. The capture is exceptionally good, and sharp, the composition and crop is very very good, the colours are great.

The only criticism is a personnel thing that does affect your score, I know you have used it before, but I am not a fan of the plain white background. I also think a thin, black (or blue) border (1px) out from the egde would have also finished this off.

Well who ever it is has got them down! Next Springs batch maybe posing for you. :) This is a winner of a shot that's for sure.
