    I really like the image design. Common bird made much more striking with the added background element. Head is soft on the 5k imac

    Yeah, the moon is fun. Agree with the sharpness comment. Also wish either the front wing was higher or the light was a bit lower to get rid of that underwing shadow.

    You've been doing real well John but this one's not quite working for me. Heads a bit soft, the shadow bothers me and the out of focus moon isn't working. Keep shooting, you're doing really well, this one just missed the mark by a little bit.

    Having the moon in the upper left corner would have been better, artistically. A fun attempt, and for sure it is different.
