greetings from the critique club

Hello! I see you are one of our newer users of the site, so I will start by saying "Welcome to DPC!"

Before I start on this image, I want to say your other two images here on this site show really good seeing and a fine sense of humor and/or awareness that is refreshing.

Now, there really isn't much wrong with this image. Oh, you could have drawn out a bit more detail in the sky. Still, the bird is exactly where you want it in the frame, and while a bit small, it's okay in that respect. (As an aside: My monitors do not record any out-of-focus problems, but just a nice silhouette) Unfortunately the image lacks the punch that is a hallmark of this type of Challenge and is, probably, a touch too subtle to make an impact on a hurried voter.

So, if for no other reason, keep 'em coming for those of us who like the quirky, unusual images and who knows, the scores might improve too.

Alice

I do not care much for the negative space and would have liked more definition in the bird.

Not much here to comment on. The sky is dull and the bird is out of focus. It is good that the bird is flying into the frame.

I really like the composition on this. My only problem with it is the bird isn't in focus. Good luck!
