I don't know what you did to the sky... but it certainly is NOT natural looking.

I have no idea what this is, and would venture to guess that it might just win the brown ribbon.

Umbrella Shadows in the Rain
by Ken

Comment:
I may be mistaken here, but this image seems to contain the reflection of an umbrella. The shadows seem to be missing.

A very good idea, but the execution leaves a tad to be desired.

I am assuming that this is the images of soon to be parents, but find that the cropping has cut off some very important elements. My humble opinion is that you would have been better served to incorporate the extremities of all of the hands, and perhaps gone a tad lower to show the area below the navel.

Perhaps a side view or one showing more definition of the contour of the lady might have been in order, but that is a personal preference.

Lastly, I would strongly suggest that you retry this photograph with different lighting sources as I find the lighting in some areas to be particularly harsh.

I do hope you will consider my opinions as being constructive.

Nice bird... but I am intrigued by the colour of the legs and claws.

This has to be one of the nicest images of the Chateau Frontenac that I have had the pleasure to view. The colours are stunning and you have choseen a truly wonderful perspective. Very well done. I am definitely adding this image to my favorites list.

A very interesting image, although from my perspective the cropping will cost you. You might have considered cropping the image immediately to the right of the man's left shoulder.

Free as a Bird

This is a striking image, but it would seem the image was taken outside at high noon, and as such missing a prime component of the challenge, namely an artificial source of light.
