The border is really really distracting and annoying. Otherwise it would have been a decent shot.

Weird. Looks like he was saying: 'Now who's the boss here?'. What a great close-up!

Such a lame title for such a beautiful picture! Didn't you notice your forgot to give it a name? That happens sometimes, many photographers submit their picture within the last minute. A nice title would have been 'Gliding Grace'. The crop is good, the focus is on the bird, the water surface frames it and its green aspect makes a nice contrast against the blueish feathers. Nice shot.

Funny. I see you understand how to move in the challenge's grey area. You should have used another light source. The direct flash creates shadows hich are to hard, and aggressive highlights. Also, you might have taken water as background. I hope this helps.

Did you think of the way buddhists pray when you took this picture? They write prayers on peaces of fabric. Each time the ribbon flaps, a prayer is sent to buddha.

You might have flipped the picture. That would have suggested a strong wind coming from below.

Nice picture. It clearly shows the effect of wind. But the jpeg artifacts really kill your submission. You compressed it too heavily. Check out the forums and the tutorials on how to save pictures for the web.

Wind... Waves... Wings...

Nice picture. You might have considered the variation 'Wind. Waves. Wings.' of your title. It would have reflected the impact of your image.

I think you deserved the blue ribbon for this one. It perfectly matches the challenge, is well composed and fun to look at.

I appreciate how you managed not to be too visible in the reflection. You did this handheld? Wow. My pictures turn shake if a use triple zoom without a tripod...
