Yeap... I don't think my shot was worthy of a "Free Study"... Actually, shot was good, I like the photo, but processing was terrible and I publicly apologize to Olivia for that...
I can see the main problem. I like the shot in general, but the eyes are excessively sharp in relation to the rest of the photo. You were trying to pimp the eyes, but it didnt work quite right here.
Still good, and your own standards are aiming a couple of notches higher than where I am at.
Well, the voters liked my image better than I did, but that's really a different story. I'm afraid I'm going to have to live with a profile page full of noisy hummingbird shots for a long time...gotta learn how to light those suckers better....
