Critique Ratings

I shoot these birds all of the time and I know they are not easy to get right. It looks like you did a pretty fair job at getting the exposer right on this one. Thats half of the battle. The other half is getting these birds to stick around long enough to get a few shots. It looks like you where shooting from a high vantage point and that puts a lot of the ground in the shot and in this case the ground isn't helping. What are those things anyways? Acorns maybe?
