Thanks, Tom. I see what you mean. The line is not quite as sharp there. Good catch. |

Oh Mike...making us all envious again...you are a master. I have never seen this species of Kingbird. They are so much more colorful than the Eastern Kingbird. You have captured a decisive moment - I think they are screaming at each other. Everything in this image, from color to compositon to technical perfection just works for me. |

To me this is absolutley beautiful. Everything is sharp. I think Pam is rig about adding a very fine stroke border. Other than that I would not change a thing. Well done in my opinion. |

I think you have captured an interesting nature reflection. The "Rule of Odd Numbers" is at play here which strengthens the compositon, and the fact that all three are posed with one leg up adds interest in my opinion. I agree with Pam that the image is pretty soft - and I know from experience that the Canon 100-500mm can be heavy leading to camera shake that we aren't even aware of when shooting. Choosing the animal eye option in the focus setting and AI Servo are a must for me in this type of situation. I also always use burst shooting even for perched birds because then if I have camera movement there is often at least one frame that is in focus. |

What draws me in and keeps me looking are the complimentary colors. The nature "hard liners" would not like the fish-eye effect, but personally I do like it and find it another means of artistic expression. I think this is an Eliott Porter style intimate landscape. For me, the dark stems and lowers on the right are distracting. Maybe consider cropping to eliminate them? |

These adorble creatures always captivate me. At first I did not relaize there were three but then I nocied four eyes on the right so looked closer. I wonder if a little dodging on the one in front would separate them more? For me, the color verson works best. In my opion the way the focus falls off behind them is effective. I see the water in front which provides context and beyond the subjects the background is distraction free. |

Thanks for your feedback, Pam. I wasn't going to try this one in competition - it has too much editing for Nature - but maybe I should think about trying it in a monochrome section. |
