Really elegant. Beautiful scene. Love the lonliness and the idea behind the shot.

This is the most beautiful of all the field shots in this challenge. I love the contrasting colours and DOF between the backdrop and the yellows. Really beautiful composition. Would make an excellent print 10

It Took Forever!

That is absolutely hilarious. Really nice B&W. Only suggestion would be to have a bit darker shadows for added contrast. But excellent overall. Really really like this one. It stands out and it's unique. Good luck.

I've gone through about 600 of these entries and yours is the only one that's really caught my eye so far. It's a really beautiful image. The subject is interesting, compelling and the black and white adds drama. I hope you do really well in this. 10

Fire in the Sky

A shame about the wires cutting across - and with it being a non member challenge you couldn't edit. However, the image is very striking and I think will do well as a print if you are able to take the lines out in Photo Shop. This is one of hte nicest images in this challenge.

This is a really lovely subject. I like the depth of field used here and the expression. The colours are also really beautiful and definitely "pop". if you're doingsomething like this in the future, I find portraits like this usually (not always) benefit from a bit more negative (blank) space to the side of the subejct (in this case to the right side). Using a rule of third approach (subject to 1/3 of the image) usually balances out the composition and makes the subject stand out (plus, studies show the rule of thirds is the most visually appealing. It isn't a steadfast rule... but would apply nicely in this situation. Your eye wants to move a bit toward the direction where the bird is moving and it's limited with this crop. Just some advice - a good image overall though.

Oh man! I just love this. It's really thoughtful and the expression/drama is lovely. You've not only captured an image, you've captured expression and mood and a story. beautiful work. 10
