      Score 8/10 (from the Score Me!
      group). Nice, but I think it would've been better if the blackground wasn't so dark.

      This is very good! The colors are vibrant but not overpowering. This photograph is like a well-made chinese dinner.

      a non-black background would have been better ?

      Great photo, how'd you get so close?

    17. codespoti (77 months ago | reply)

      Camra Art - I used a 75-300mm zoom lens. The bird was in a zoo park.
