Interesting to do a critique on your image but it is difficult if you don't give us any information in your photographers comments. When we do a critique, we go past just the photographic result, that's what voters comments do. The critique looks at what you were trying to achieve, how you wanted it to look and what issues you had in getting the image captured and ready for voting.
First Impression - the most important one: What a way to meet the challenge.
Composition:
Good ... there is nothing I would think is actually wrong with this shot. Really good use of DOF.
Subject: Meets the challenge and does it extremely well.
Technical (Colour and light): Natural works for me .. almost all the time - and this one is no different.
To grow its vote?: No ideas here .. as you did top 5!
Summary: Great pic .. well done on your finish ... :)
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
OK, my first thought was this bird is stuffed and the seeds are there to hide the base to which it is mounted to. After that part of my brain shut off I saw a rather clever shot that deserves a thumbs up. :)
Good subject . Great sharpness.. Slight loss of detail in black portions of bird, but understandable given the dynamic range in this shot. One of my top 3.
AWWWW What a sweet bird. Nice sharp focus but I'm not a fan of the dead centered subject. I'd like to have it off to one side with some negative space. Just my taste.
