http://www.samsungphotocontest.co.za/entries/view/2222

I am not sure if its good enough..

Could you guys please give me an honest opinion and tell me what you think about my photo, what i need to look out for and so on.

All feedback would be greatly appreciated.

nice pic. but comparing to some of the others you dont stand a chance
 
hmmm, its a nice pic of an owl. My personal opinion is that its too tightly cropped. It would depend on the surroundings that the owl was taken in. In certain surrounds you want to remove things which don't add to the photo, but sometimes, removing all the background you actually remove the context which does add to a photo.

As for the light, there needs to be a little fill from the front to bring out the detail in the shadow - especially in the right (camera left) eye of the owl. The other criticism I can make is that there are little patches of overexposed areas. The one on left eye for example is a bit distracting.
 
It's a good pic, but it lacks originality or artistry.

I should mention that I know nothing about photography or art. :)
 
It's nothing special, is what everyone is politely dancing about.

Don't be disheartened.
