Hi Bee and welcome. Where are you from? First off, please post your images at 800 pixels wide so that we can better appreciate and comment. I think that if this were larger and the bird were selectively sharpened a bit that it could be a decent image. The background grasses look sort of funky and the bird is flying ever-so-slightly away from you. This is less than ideal. The EXP is good and I like the yellow flower.

Hi Emily - welcome to the BPN family - Artie has it all covered.
A BIG welcome - look forward to seeing more.

A little bit of color enhancement should make it more beautiful, too.
Welcome aboard, Emily!
A big Welcome to the BPN family Bee.
I like the base composition, would like to see it in a higher resolution. You have been given excellent advise. Remember; now its practice, patience, practice, patience and PRACTICE, it will make you better...:)
Once again...welcome to our family...:cool:
Big Welcome Bee !!!
Can also add its not the ideal angle to photograph a bird in flight !! You would want to have the wings fully up or down but not straight out !! Looking forward to more !!!
Welcome to the BPN family Bee. All points covered from the experts. Just wanted to welcome you and hope to see more.
Regards,
Hi Bee and welcome! Would love to see a bigger post. As per critiques, the experts have covered it.
