Wooden Bird

Nice image with good vibrant colors. I like that the subject is off center, and the clouds build a nice fill in what would otherwise be an empty blue space. The blueness of the shy does show signs of graininess, which a despeckle (Photoshop) filter might correct, or a slight desaturation. I do like your use of diagonal banisters here, though your main upright post that the bird sits on is slanted to the left just ever so slightly. Whenever possible, verticals should remain straight up and down, much the same as the horizon of large bodies of water, should not slant. Using an angle measurement tool, I found you can correct this by rotating the image in a Clockwise direction by 0.67 degrees. Of course, there are lens distortion correction filters out there, or using Photo-shops perspective adjustment might also do the trick. Overall, nice image composition, though not something that would captivate the viewer. Good Still Life. - Brian
