Smoke and filtered sun added so much to this already interesting photo. It was my top pick. Congrats Roz!

I would call him "The ultimate procrastinator". Evidently, so many things "to do", but he is just mediating ))

Lovely portrait with very genuine smile. It could've easily been a ribbon but what brought the score down a bit, I think, is that her heir is completely submerged in the black background, not a hint of separation. Just a little bit of light on the background or a rim light on her hair (for example, something white on the left reflecting the light back on her) would've made a big difference

Smart!

I agree with Wendy – your outtake is funnier and better technically, although this one is certainly an order of magnitude harder/luckier to capture. I wonder if you could improve it in post-processing by making the background less dark, your crow would stand out much better.
