DESCRIPTION AND SETTINGS :
I like to sit in my yard and observe all of the nature that lives or visits there. We have a family of cardinals that always return for the winter and raise their young in the area. This little guy was just being left to learn how to fend for himself and wasn't quite sure of what to do.
Judge's Critique:
There is a lot of background for this colorful bird. The bird seems almost centered (the least interesting place to put the subject). Whatever he is standing on is brighter than the bird. Keep in mind the eye goes to the brightest area of an image first. The image is not as powerful as it could be if the brightest area is not the subject, or in the case of high-key, not emphasizing the subject. The birds colors do not seem as vibrant as they could be. Compare the visual critique with the original. What do you think?
