This is great Jimmy! What a great capture to find them all bright and yellow feeding at the same time like that! I love how that shallow depth of field really makes those yellows jump out at you!
I love the color and contrast in this picture. Not sure about the wooden post, maybe a different angle? Also, so weird halo effect going on aroudn the birds. Average rating.
This has great appeal. The linear quality stopped by the POPS of the yellow and black birds really works. The yellow tones of the birdfeeder helps tie the color scheme together. Great DOF. Love the title.
The tone mapping on this is not working well, creating unnatural BG dullness and flatness and pronounced haloing of the birds. The shot is otherwise quite endearing.
