J2 Great portrait. Excellent exposure and composition. Wonder if the DOF is too shallow because the felt "balloons" are out of focus and that takes away from the image for this viewer.

J3 would have scored this higher if the maker moved just a bit so the diaper didn#039;t show.

J1 This is a very nice, creative image with an excellent composition. The detail visible in the subject is superb. The tulip is nicely nestled in the curve of the stem and the curve of the stem is supported visually by the curve of the leaf. The exposure and pastel colours are very attractive. The background colour is suitable and not distracting. The image has excellent impact.

J1 Well done! Suggest leaving more apparent space between the foreground wall and the second wall; otherwise, it appears that the two walls are almost adjacent to one another.

J1 The lighting on the hummingbird is very nice, the exposure is good and the colours look natural. There is plenty of feather detail, particularly on the tail. Sharpness is very good on most of the body, but the closer wing and some feathers on the body are out of focus. Next time provide more depth of focus to ensure the entire subject is sharp. The slight motion blur on the far wing is fine. Darken the brighter portion of the V shaped blur in the background to make it less distracting.

J1 It#039;s a blue jay, not a robin. J2 This is a wonderful capture. It's sharp and beautifully exposed and the composition is great. The prey appears to be a bluejay, not a robin, which will cost a point in a nature competition where the judges expect the maker to know their subject matter.
