Submit your best photo with a bird in the frame for your chance to win a free Fstoppers tutorial
This week's topic will probably never be featured again, which is why we brought in an extremely special guest to rate our twenty selections for this once in a lifetime Fstoppers event, Lee's mom. Do you agree with Lee's and her ratings?
Due to the short time frame that was available to film while Lee's mom was visiting, we made our twenty image selections before the image ratings from the community had really panned out. As a result, we will actually be giving away three tutorials this week as the highest community rated image was replaced by a new winner after filming the episode. You may also notice a few of the community ratings are now different from what's shown in the video. With that said, congratulations to Bobo Bird and Mitchell Torjman for having the highest community rated images at different times and to Rohan Mishra for being the randomly selected entrant to win a free Fstoppers original tutorial. We will be in touch with all of you to claim your prize.
If you'd like to participate in the next episode, we're choosing a slightly more mainstream and commercially viable topic of "dogs." Submit your best photo of a dog now for your chance to be critiqued and win an Fstoppers original tutorial.
To play off some of the recent trends that have arisen in the Fstoppers competitive shoot out videos, Pye Jirsa has called for an episode of Critique the Community highlighting "portraits with birds." Since portraits with birds in them are probably not very common, we're broadening the category to include any image that has a bird in it, though we'd prefer a portrait with a bird in it if you have one.
Between now and May 22nd at 11:45PM EST, you can submit up the three images that fit the category. We will be selecting 20 images to provide feedback to and of those, two entrants will win a free Fstoppers tutorial. The first winner will be chosen based on the highest average community rated image and the second will be chosen at random.
Once you've submitted your images, please scroll through the rest of the images and give them your own critiques based on the Fstoppers rating system below. If you see an area where an image could be improved, we encourage you to leave helpful and positive feedback for the photographer.

Mininalism, macro, wildlife, abstract, surealism, night shot, motion/panning, black and white, tilt shift, long exposure, emotion, ... portrait with a bird? Ug.
#15 is the winner!!!! :D :D
Pictures with birds... That's all I had. Sorry!
What's the problem?
Just hoping for something a little different. I understand that it has been broadened to birds in general. Portrait with a bird 'preferred' is still a bit tight. I'd personally like to see a less person-oriented topic come up soon. There are many other forms of pro-photography. Photojournalism for example. Or technique-based like double exposure. Just my opinion. It's all good.
A funny thing, the marking in the contests seems very harsh with not many getting above a 3. Strange that you search your images for something that suits the criteria and then have anonymous "experts" say that you should not put it in your portfolio.
Truth is I didn't, it was the only shot I had of a monkey eating a sandwich
