- Judge's Critique: Beautiful bird in a static pose. I know the title says there is a nest, but it would have anchored the title if you could actually see the nest. Notice the image seems a little bright and flat, and the sky is brighter than the subject and washed out. Some may say, well that is just the way it was. Perhaps, but a slight underexposing of the scene may have added a little depth and contrast, allowing the statement to be finished in post processing. See the visual critique for comparison. Finally, when shooting birds on nests, spend time with them and photograph them doing something. Flying in, flying out, building the nest, feeding chicks, etc.… The action is a difference make in an image.
