I enjoy the scene -- I think it would be more interesting cropped down from the top and up from the bottom. If you crop out the sky, it looks even more claustrophobic. :)

Great point of view. It's a surprise and it's fun to figure it out. -8-

Compelling and great! Not sure about the toning. Wondering if would be more effective in black and white and more contrast? But it doesn't matter, because it's already an 8. :)

Nice shot, but badly processed (sorry) you have a white glow around everything from trying to bring out the bird and save the sky. It would have been much better to let the sky blow out and expose for the bird. Also the fish is now a strange color and there's not enough contrast in the osprey.

I've seen these shots a number of times in previous challenges. Very nice. Although what bothers me a bit is that whatever software you used to make a dark to light circular gradient has left rings. I can see each individual ring getting darker as you go out. I've also had that problem with photos when using the NIK software.

great find, but it was either not sharp to begin with or processed too much. I keep trying to focus better with my eyes. I think you could have gotten away with it if you had overexposed it and made it a bit soft and dreamy.

Wow... It took me awhile to figure this one out, but gave a great first impression. I'd be tempted to crop it in, though. The upper right quarter doesn't add that much and the whole left side is awesome.

seems over sharpened and a bit oversaturated... Cool bird in cool surroundings, though!

This seems a little tightly cropped I wish there was more room at the top.

Spectacular! I would love to see your lighting setup and the original vs the photoshopped final. -9-
