The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas.
Beautiful birds; wonderful color palette. You must have shot this just as the bird landed as it isn’t as sharp as the other two, giving it a sense of motion.
Nice catch of this trio Sandy. Amazing colors on the birds. I like the diagonal of the perch and resulting positioning of the birds. Birds do look a bit soft to me.
I love the expressions on their beaks(?), faces(?). I think the BG is too close tot he same shade and color so they don’t stand out as well as they could. If you darkened the BG a bit more, it might help.
