Picture #2.
Yes, this picture was indeed not outstanding - if taken by an experienced photographer.
However, given the facts below:
A VERY YOUNG LITTLE INEXPERIENCE photo enthusiast;
Using Point & Shoot Canon PowerShot S1 IS (info from EXIF data of the picture);
A candid shot.
I think kimmy145 has taken a good shot against many of her peers because she manage to see and capture it while many may have overlooked.
Remember it's a bird that can rest there and fly off anytime any moment, it's not a static element.
Technical wise, she has limited, if not zero, control over her Point & Shoot camera.
Artistically, a well shot picture (at her stage of photography), keep up. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
