#4. In #1, you really haven’t captured his attention. #3 is very nice, but I feels unbalanced...like he’s falling to the right. I like the open bill in the last one, but it just lacks elegance found in some of the others. Beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing. jak

1 and 3. #1 is classic and #3 is simply great.

5 for me. His face seems more expressive in that one.

IMO, no comparison. By far #3. The bird is engaged, perhaps curious, about you, or something behind you............... But wait, I really like #5 as well. The open beak indicates communication, perhaps with his mate. Now, its a tough decision. In number three, with apparently the bird interacting with you (so it seems) the viewer is now aware of the photographers presence. Are photographers intended to be part of the birds environment. Also, with #3 the bird looks like he is about ready to split because of your presence. I like to think of wildlife photography as being able to capture some behavior that is natural and not influenced by the presence of people. Number 5 now to me looks like more of a natural, undisturbed setting that better demonstrate what is going on in the life of this bird. The photographer is not interfering in that behavior. I change my vote to #3.

Great post with great photos. The question you asked makes on think about what is good (or bad) in each of the photos and why one's preferences are what they are.

We all just had a photo lesson. Thank you.

UHH'rs, I Was lucky to get these shots of a fine Northern Cardinal here in Michigan. Now, I'd like to work on the pose that's the most popular. I'd like your vote on the pose. The colors on all of them could be better. But it's the pose that I would appreciate your opinion on. Thanks.


Another one for #3. In number one he looks as if he's going to hit the left side of the frame.
All are very good though.

Thank you. I think we all learn when we critique photos and learn what is personally pleasing and what is being communicated via the photo. Going thru a critique and expressing what we like and don't like helps us to become better photographers. And look what you did by the post. You have a bunch of people doing critiques (some in more detail than others). What would be the best if each and everyone said why they liked one vs. the other.

Thanks again for the post.

#3 for me - it implies action, plus it's Audubon-ish.

I'd say 3.
