I love how they all look so determined. Looks like they're all going off to work on a Monday morning. The image overall is a bit dark, but you have certainly captured an obvious emotion.

The Icelandic Quicksilver Swan...

Love the colours, and the softness of the swan against the coldness of the water. Great composition.

Never to Climb Again...

I hope this shot doesn't work against you, knowing the mindset of many voters. Don't get me wrong, I think it's gross, but it fits the challenge and its done very well. Furthermore, it's original and certainly captures your attention. While I wouldn't hang it on my wall, I would certainly stop and look at it on someone else's. Good job!

I'm not big on the lighting of this shot, although I can appreciate it was probably a tricky subject to light given the colour of it. I think no border or a thin border would have made the image seem less heavy.

'Title Field is Required'

Birds are hard to shoot, without scaring them off, I can appreciate that. But I do wish this shot was a little bit sharper, looks like a digital zoom image, or a tight crop from a larger picture.

Fauna reflection

Comment:
I find all the reflections while pretty, are distracting from the subject. I definitely would have cropped this one to simplfy and focus the viewers attention.

Very nice. I wish we could have seen more of the tail though and less tree.

Excellent shot. I would love to know how close you actually had to get to the subject, or if you were using a zoom I would be envious of. *grin* I love the crop. The eyes are a bit dark, but understandably so, animals eyes are almost impossible to capture because they are naturally so dark.

I don't like the crop on this image at all, does not seem to fit the subject. I think it could have been improved with some more light as well, but I do like the fact that the cows all seem to be avidly watching you.

Very nice. A soft photo, but it completely works.
