    I love this little White-crowned sparrow, but he broke a couple of rules getting here... :cool:

    Hi Kerry, I really like the idea of trying to find the rules broken.

    Two rules broken... hmm. I can see the sparrow being centered as one. Let's see what others come up with.

    Kerry, I love this one too. The peeking out look is priceless. I do see a couple of things that I would change but I'll see what everyone else has to say first.

    I like this image even though it is centered & over sharpened. The repeating pattern of the cyclone fence is neat.

    Hi Kerry,

    As others mentioned it is over-sharpened and a little too centered, but it kinda nice anyway.

    Agree with above on rules broken, but I don't think either one is a major infraction. In fact, I actually like the over-sharpening in this case because it really brings out the details. :) Nice pose.

    I'm interested in hearing why some say that this bird is centered. Take a look. How much of the bird is in the center? :cool: There is virtually none of him in the lower right quadrant and just a bit in the upper right quadrant. Not one of the rules I was looking for! :p

    Ok, I'll come clean, so to speak... The two rules I was breaking here (at least!) are - natural perch and bright background. I'm sure there are others. :D

    PS - looks like I did a double conversion to sRGB but you get the idea.

    Kerry, I was going with un-natural perch and color cast. But I must admit for this pose and cutie I like the un-natural perch.
