The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Recent posts by Sandy and Dennis have led me down the path of renewing my bird “stage”.
I have a permanent water supply to waterers down the paddock, which feeds from two large water tanks and then to a submerged leaky (dripping) hose with a tap on the end. Birds, kangaroos, possums, and the occasional fox use it. I’ve rearranged the drippy hose so it’s out of the water and drips making little drippy noises and seemingly the movement of the water attracts birds.
I had no time to set up the attractive branches for the birds to perch. Within 5 minutes I had seven species visit the drip.

Very nice Glennie. Love seeing all these birds that I am not familiar with. Looks like the potential of your water set up will be practically limitless. All fine catches. I think my favorite is the honeyeater with the fine pose and lovely perch. Well done all.
A wonderful series and I like the third one the best (Honeyeater). This one has a very strong comp and a killer BG. The currawongs look like an intimidating bunch of characters with a dark and moody comp. Third one is my favorite and the rest are all very good making this a tough pick for sure. Awesome…Jim
All the images are excellent, Glennie. Dripping water does seem a bit magical for attracting birds. If you can arrange a single drip, birds will drink directly from it, which is fun to watch and makes for interesting acrobatics.
My vote is also for the Honeyeater, but I love the Currawongs.
Hi Glenys
These are all great. I agree with Allen, Jim & Dennis, the Lewins Honeyeater is the winner, but the Currawongs are a close second. Great work.

I missed this before – got too busy – but have to chime in with another WOW! And another vote for the Honeyeater but all are fantastic! Can’t wait to see the results you’ll be getting!
I do marvel at the use of of light in your images, well maybe not in the Lewins Honeyeater. Half way around the globe from North America, you do have a different set of birds and mammals, all great subjects. .
