1.

2. These were taken at 250mm on my 55-250.

The birds look like rocks on the cliff... Maybe its just mt old eyes... But I had to look closely to make them out.

I didn't notice the birds on the cliff either, maybe a closer up shot would have been better. I like the first photo however, very pretty, very clear.

The birds are definitely very hard to see. They were up on a cliff face, and the shot is with my 55-250 ALL the way out at 250mm. There was no way to get closer, and those darn birdies wouldn't wear the pink tutus that I brought for them.:lmao:

LOL - darn birds!
I honestly didn't see the birds until the posting pointed it out and my vision is pretty darn good! Try yellow tutus next time - more gender friendly!

For the first one, I really want to like it but I think it's a background flower that is distracting me. It's the flower right behind the focused flower that is aggravating me a little. I think it would be cleaner if that one was not in the picture.

There is a reason that they call them rock pigeons. That picture is one of the few times any more you see pigeons where they naturally are. Rock pigeons (the ones in your pick) are the same specie of pigeons that take a crap on you in the middle of the city. Pretty, but annoying.

The bird ones dont do much for me tbh, like everyone else needs to be a bit closer...but hey we all gotta do the best with what weve got, so top marks for trying.

The flower one I like, details good. the only thing i can say about that with my untrained eyes, is that, to me it ooks a little busy. I would of like to see the first 2 flowers only with maybe some black card behind them as a back drop.

Yellow tutus it shall be. Who knows, that could have changed the whole picture.

I hear what you are saying about the background flower, that is after all the 2nd and 3rd rules of composition "how do I draw the eye to the subject" and "how can I simplify the picture", (ie. how do I take away anything that distracts me from my intended subject). These flowers are protected here, (called Rakefet or Cyclamen persicum Miller) so no picking allowed. The truth is my subject was really "1 flower amidst it's sisters", I wanted the other flowers there as an OOF backdrop to show the clarity of the flower. Not sure that I managed that properly though.
