Initial thoughts Interesting content – nice silhouettes – a bit dark.
Composition/ Content I like the unusual composition – centred on one axis but not on the other. I also like the natural element of the symmetry – the symmetry is in the two birds doing the same thing on either side of the feeding platform – but in terms of actual shapes – they are in different positions. I find that interesting. I prefer the bird on the right which I find more appealing in silhouette form.
Background Seems very dark – I think a lighter blue would allow better display of the silhouettes.
Camera Work - Technical I like the motion captured in the wings.
Fits The Challenge I believe so, yes.
My Opinion On The Photo Interesting, intriguing but not wholly appealing because of the darkness. Not quite enough to really pull me back for repeat viewings.
Nice capture, and an interesting silhouette! Larger file size (up to 150k per site rules) might have eliminated some of the JPEG artifacts that are showing up in your background.
I definitely see balance, if not symmetry. I am totally not crazy about the very dark shot. It does have kind of a negative space feel, but does not have a lot of impact for me when lighted (or non lighted!) this way.
man, that would have been a guaranteed winner if they were closer in sync (I know that would be pretty impossible though)... It's a little dark, could you have jacked up the levels a bit?
