Super Job, Emmie. I like the clarity in the bird's eye. I think that lightening up the bird's face would make this an even better image, but look at that score..seems to me you're doing just fine. You've got a lot of photographic adventures ahead of you and good luck and I hope you have as much fun experiencing them as we do viewing your efforts.
We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
Fantastic shot.. so clear and that look in his eye he's watching you.. lol.. looks like he's saying "this is my good side make sure you get it right!" great work
