Hello, it is Lisa visiting from Group 52.
It looks like these cockatoos are eating pomegranates, which add to the nature story. The colors are harmonious, and you have caught their eyes well. As far a post processing I would like to see the background a bit darker so the birds pop more. You can achieve this with simple layer adjustments. I used a levels adjustment to bring the background down and another to brighten the birds and the foreground. If for a nature entry darkening the background would also help diminish the middle vegetation which is equal in height to the cockatoos. If this is only for you, I would suggest using the spot healing brush to remove that vegetation.

Gracious, I never noticed that. I certainly will clean it. |

What lovely colors you have captured. The leaves reach into the image with good color and texture. I would remove the small leaf on the left side. I would suggest filling in the black space at the top left. You can either clone, or in Photoshop>Edit>Content Aware Fill, use the paint brush to capture some of the area around the image. The colors are quite pretty and capture the feeling of Autumn. |

What lovely colors you have in this image. The greens and reds of the flowers are lovely, and they pull my interest.
The foreground reds lead me to the hummingbird. Each part, the bird and the red flower is strong. I think a vertical crop would be another way to focus on both the hummer and foreground flower. The bird's eye could be at the top right power point. Good attention would then be on the foreground flowers, green leaves, and the hummingbird. Like Mike, I think a vignette would pull attention to the subject and detract from the less interesting red flower in the background. |

Oh my! What a captivating scene. There are layers and layers of various colors that draw me into this view and keep me there. You have done a glorious job of capturing fall. I would not change anything about the layers of fall leaves; however, I think the sky is less than dramatic and would crop some off the top. I'd leave enough for the viewer to know it is a sky but no more than that. This is beautiful. |

The clear sharp detail in the throat feathers pull me into this image. The bright orange/yellow glow keeps me there, and then I am drawn to the eye. Each part of this area is interesting and inviting. You have captured a hummer quite clearly. Since the body is so sharp, the movement of the fluttering wings is appropriate as movement. The background color on the right accentuates the colors of the feathers. The left side does not do this. It distracts me. In the original, I can tell it is a tree; however, in the post process it is a line that interferes with the bird's wing. In my opinion the right-side green would complement the left side more. |

I like eye treatment. Well done. The owl has an interesting face and the wing span gives grace to the whole image. I think the sun is too bright and draws me from the owl. My attention goes and stays there. I wonder if more of the soft yellow would give a similar effect without overpowering the owl. |
