    Hi Vicki, it's not working for me. The image is quite noisy so I think it was under exposed and so to a degree limited detail. The brushed in colour at the foot and over the log isn't right, especially around the bug, but ultimately cutting the tail off is the killer sadly.

    Vicki, looks like you were pretty close on this one? Quite a bit of detail available in the cheek, shoulders, wing and feet so great job on that.

    Really cool that you captured the beetle in its mouth! Not sure what's going on with the black silhouette around it... Also looks like maybe you brushed the lower right corner?

    I think there's a little too much out of focus tree on the left for my taste and would have liked to get the full tail. How much crop?

    Hey Vicki

    Not having the full tail in and the shadow at the bottom is a pity. Great that you got the bird with the beetle though. Keep them coming
