Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

My favourite.
I haven't posted this image on here before and I came across it whilst trying to find my favourite shot of 2006.

Few comments.
What is the subject on this picture? If it’s the bird, it’d be better if you created a slight angle when taking a picture and placed the bird slightly to the left of the frame – this is known as the rule of thirds – rather than having the stick and the bird sticking out of the middle. Create shallower DOF to isolate the bird from surroundings. At greater angle, the bird will be looking in open space in front of it and there will be no dead space left behind. The stick will create a diagonal line on your image. You can put the bird in the middle of the frame and very close but then why do you need distracting background with greater DOF? Instead, fill 80% of the frame with the image of the bird. That way you will have more balanced image within the frame. Here’s an example. Another participant posted his image on this forum: http://members.westnet.com.au/stetner/D ... _Kooka.jpg If your intent was to show spectacular background with some clouds in the sky, the horizon and red dirt then don’t put the bird so close on the frame, it distracts the view of the landscape behind. Put the bird further away, level the image of the bird with the horizon and take a picture of landscape. You will get a nicer image of the sky and landscape. How did you get so close to the bird focal length of 24mm? I tend to agree with another respondent; this image is the composition of two other images. The composition of the picture is below average and over sharpening is unnecessary. It’d be more pleasing to view the image with rich contrast colours in mid-tone range and softer light. That's my opinion. 
Joey read my post above. It is indeed a composite from two images. The bird was shot with the 80- 400 VR from memory at 400mm. Your other comment are noted but have nothing whatsoever to do with what I was trying to create. But thank you for your critique.

Hey Oneputt.
I like what you have tried to achieve here. IMHO this piccie would look better in portrait frame with less background. Cheers, Mick
edit: if only I could spelllllll!
