Hello John,

Your photograph looks interesting but could you please repost a higher quality jpeg? There are really too many compression artifacts in this one. :)

Best,

Philippe.

Hi John. This looks like a nice image of a beautiful male Eastern Bluebird, but almost all the details are hidden. When you save your file for posting at BPN, be sure that you save at a higher quality. You are allowed to post images up to 150KB in size, so almost 10 times what you have here. The added detail will really help you to get better critiques. Your composition here looks good, but it would be really nice to have the bluebird looking the other direction...where his gaze would do a better job of keeping our eyes in the image. Hope to see you post another soon.
