    Question Please tell me what you think...

    I am on the verge of tossing this shot...it's a huge screw-up of the pheasants fighting but then again I actually like the blur, movement and colour combination together....it intrigues me. I find it rather interesting and I was wondering if anyone else sees anything worthwhile here or if I should just simply toss it?
    I am torn with what to do here.....any ideas?

    I like it. If this is a regular visible occurence then I might practice this shot. But It seems like it would be awefully hard to plan for. Clearly you didnt mean for this to happen, but sometimes accidental shots turn out to be the best ones. I like it, but that does not mean the rest will, and justifyably so.

    Photography is more than just taking a picture and freezing the action, or leaving the shutter open. It is more than orchestrating the image with the stroke of a brush. Its the realization and explanation that reality is an isolated experience in which only a specific individual can comprehend during any given time period. - Your Truly!

    This is an interesting shot. Don't toss it. The colours are bright, pity the faces of the birds weren't more in focus and just the wings and bodies showing the movement. Without reading what you wrote first, I saw that it was a photo of two birds fighting; so worth keeping.

    I like it. For me ... an image has to have at least one element in focus ... this has the grass which shows us that the camera was still and the movement we see is definitely the birds. I rate this as a cool shot!!

    I loved it, the vibrance and the blur. It makes perfect

    i think this is great i did something like this. i would like to see it more open though like a wider composition and more centered so the subject being the blurred bird looks more solidified and proper and so then it isn't exactly obvious that it's a blurred bird.
