[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 830887, member: 53455"] Everyone needs it. There is always something that one could have done better. And I'm not talking artistically, because in that field, it's strictly a matter of personal, subjective opinion. So, technically, your photo of the little bird is generally good. Most of the EXIF seem to have been stripped off, so there isn't much I can tell as to the causes, but the first result I see is that the background could have been blurred more. It is not bad, yet it feels cluttered and distracts a bit from the main subject. Concerning the latter, I see two things. First, you were not truly at subject level and that is a bit detrimental to the final result. I say "a bit", because you were in fact not very far from eye level, and that's good. Second, the subject is too centered, and here I admit is it "according to my taste" as well. Generally, though, it is recommended to leave some more space in the direction the subject is looking, which would be the left of the frame in this case. Maybe you could re-frame a bit if you have enough pixels to crop in in your original TIFF file. And finally, personally I would disappear the twig that's in the exact foreground and quite disturbing. But that's just personally. Otherwise, the image looks sharp and well exposed, and as I said above, is generally good. [/QUOTE]
