Wow! How'd I miss this one? I'm glad someone else just added this to their favorites or I may have never seen it!
Amazing shot!! |

From the Critique Club
First of all let me say that I really like this image a lot! OK, I got that out of the way.
Your choice of B/W for this shot is perfect! I am a HUGE fan of color, but in this instance I believe that color would be an enormous distraction and totally take away from the impact.
Focus and DOF here are awesome! I love the way the feathers are ruffled on the left bird. It's a nice contrast between the smoothness of the feathers on the right bird!
The crop in this shot is excellent and I think that a lot of the pop of the shot is from the crop! You have eliminated (most of) the distractions this way (and with the lack of color.)
Things I don't like: There is some distracting elements in the white background behind the right bird. Now that challenge is over that is an easy fix in photoshop. Also (I'm sorry but...) I really don't like what you added to the end of your title. I (and this is just me, don't take it personal please) felt like it was sucking up and I don't like sucking up... I almost never take a title into consideration when voting and before this never voted down for title, but in this instance I did take a point off for it... |

| Very nice. I find myself liking this shot very much, I find it very appealing. Well done, and it fits the challenge very well! Not sure If I like the crop so close though, but well I don't know what the initial shot looked like! |

| This is so nice. almost looks like a breeze there with the ruffled feathers and feel of motion in the background. They could be dancing. :) |

| 10 for sure! This an amazing photo. The ruffling of the feathers shows so much texture which adds alot of interest to the shot. The stance of the birds is great, and I like what you have done with the coloring. The way you cropped it makes it that much more dramatic...excellent job on this one....definitely one of my favorites yet! |

| This is nice, I love how the two birds seem to be interacting with each other, I also like the black and white, with the nice clean white background. Very Nice, good luck...I give it a 10. |

| Nice birds! I like the crouching position balanced by the striding confidence of the other bird. Just enough suggestion of a ground for them to stand on, and nothing but white behind really focuses our attention of the birds, their expressions and personality. Nice range of grays, nice detail. Later, edit out those whispy lines on the right. 10 |

| Feather up for emphasis, clean shot, crisp focus and simply dramatic. it's a winner (or should be). |

| I love the detail on this. The starkness translates (to me) a feeling of a very chilly day. The few streaks in the background, probably junk in the water you couldnt blow out, hrm, they threaten to distract but not sure if they do or not. It seems like you're down on their level too, which is great. Love the tone and sharpness too. Very well done. |
