Turn it into an AO sized poster - it'll look magnificant!

Steve - it looks impressive at this small size, it could do with being reposted at 720 on the long side for us to get a better look, as it's too small to give an honest critique as it is

i think its got a lot of potential, like andy says, it's a bit small to give a full crit, but the main problem is it's overly centralised. i think the birds need to be at about 11 o'clock of where they are now. not sure if this is a crop and you can re crop it....?
hope this helps,

Hi
Nice colour, the birds pop, and a sense of atmosphere, so it looks good. I agree with comments about size and positioning, and overall potential, but these are really straightforward to put right - might be worth doing a quick recompose, resize and repost (the 3 'Rs' hey?)

Looks as if it could be nice - does need a touch of recomposition to take the birds off to the left somewhere and re-posting a bit bigger too. Look forward to seeing it re-done.

It looks good but its hard to say about improvements when it is this small. The forum standard is 720 pixels along the longest side.
It also helps if you add some data i.e. focal length, aperature, shutter speed etc.
I normally post 3 lines
Kit i.e. 600mm/TC1.4/Tpod
Capture i.e. F4/200ASA/250'
Processing i.e Normal (for defination of normal see welcome post) and conversion to B&W..
just a suggestion...
Cheers

post processed in Micro Soft Picture editor, slight increase in contrast and saturation
I'll get round to using some proper soft ware soon promise :-)
