Open for rating and comments .. If you give me 3/3 please tell me what

you dislike so I can learn from it Thanks and Happy new year to all

... ~Peter~

I do not understand why someone has given this a 3/3 rating.. Is there a problem with it or is it someone who got their settings set to give automatic 3/3?.. why do they give 3/3 without a critique? Isn't that what this site is about? Helping people to learn? Thats what I paid my money for ... I guess in future I will not worry about getting the 3/3 with no comments and put it down to photographers who are afraid someones shot is going to get better ratings than them..

You will find Peter that there is a certain amount of people that come on this site just to give good photos low ratings.They seem to get their kick out of it.We all have to put up with it.Just learn to ignore it.There are plenty here who want to discuss photography seriously.Besides all that this is an excellent shot, which is properly why you got the 3/3.Detail and dof is spot on..Cheers from OZ

Peter, the 3/3 crowd is apparently always out, don't know what they are getting out of it; don't expect any constructive critique from them anyway. They get me upset too and I am trying to see it the way I read in another post today: it is like paying taxes on a good photo (haven't quite managed yet though). This is a very nice shot with good detail and nice DOF. The one thing that disturbs me is that the crop/framing could be much improved IMHO. There is not enough space in front of the beak and too much to the left of the head. It is almost as if you followed the 1/3 rule but put the eye on the wrong side.

Thankyou Deiter .. I see what you mean now I look at it again ... I may be able to put it right as I believe i have cropped it from a larger pic .. thankyou for your comments..

Nice Shot Peter! Dieters comments are right on, I also find it too tight in the frame.
