Fantastic! Great colors and sharpness. I really like how the bg is blurred and almost white. It really puts the focus on the bird. The small branch is a little distracting, but not too bad. I think it should stay because it really shows that he's on a branch and not just an unidentifiable 'straight line' across the photo.

I'm not overally crazy about the faded border...

Overall, super shot! Wish I could vote because I'd give you a 9!

I would've thought this would have done better!

Did you see that?

Bumping this from an 8 to a 9... I really, really like this shot. It's kind of abstract with the way that it's cropped, the way they all face the same way, and the curves of their horns. It may just be because of the resizing, but it looks to me like the focus was on the middle gazelle (?) because the two to either side appear a bit softer - just wish they were equally in focus.

Super job!

Terrific shot! Great dof, like the sepia tone. Most of all I like the crop!

My second 10...congrats. :-)

Nice shot, and I DO wonder what he's going to photograph.

Gosh, who wouldn't kill for that set-up??

Love this. Works well in b&w and certainly has me wondering what may be inside. Good work.

I'm not sure why someone would have thought this was PS'd (I see it's been validated). This is a cool shot even though it gives me goosebumps! Nice work, and good DOF.

Up In Smoke

Interesting abstract. Looking at this I wouldn't know it was smoke...but...going by your title, it does make me wonder what may have caused the smoke. I'm giving this a 7 because I like it. Seems a bit dark in the lower half - maybe play with levels a bit. Nice job.
