Our Love Nest

I wonder why you included the stone on the right in the composition instead of framing it with more brick to the left. That said this is one of my top 3 great subtle colors and i can practically feel the textures. The tones of the quatrefoil really set off the pigeons feathers and the way their eye colors tie into the colors in the bricks is just great. Im guessing blue.

Urban Reclamation: Nature Fights Back

This image lacks critters, so this may get overlooked in the voting, but this one has all the goods. The subtle colors are beautifully handled, the framing is great and the textures are amazing. Top 3 for me

the yellow color cast is very distracting. I like some of the textures and tones here but the cast is throwing me off.

tough to score this one. It is a lovely shot with real drama and stunning blur, but while I know this type of bird is largely an urban creature, there is nothing else in the frame to anchor the assumption.

The Tower

A nice complex image with lots of color and detail, but while I see nature, I have no idea where this is; while it has power lines I have never seen towers like that in an urban setting.

I wish there was more of the nature filling the frame, but otherwise a very nice image on all counts.

Shadows of nature on the wall

There is a delicacy of tone, texture, and subject matter, and the quiet play of shadows. not exactly classic DPC eyecandy, but very pretty

And the best use of a hat award goes to.... also the best entry so far. The reflection on the glass is a bit too hot, but thats the only nit I can see to pick.

I really like the tones here but the stray hairs and stuff on the background distract the eye.

A lovely complex and complete image, technically strong, and very powerful conceptually. There is something sort of Gerhard Richter-ish about this. Nice work.
