Stunningly beautiful colors and it doesn't look overprocessed. The feathers look to me to be just the right softness too. I think you nailed it! SPECTACULAR job! Congrats! I'm sure this will be a ribbon taker... (10)

A Walk in the Garden

Breathtaking scenery. I really like the fact that the peacock really "fits" the background too. It looks to me like the foreground grass is overprocessed or something (not sure whether it's just a different variety of grass either), but it's a little distracting. Also the focus of the peacock is a little soft (but these are minor points IMHO).

Great job! (8)

Fantastic shot! I love the lines in this one. It may be a little too golden from the sunlight, but otherwise the composition, clarity, and crop are superb.

I came back to this one and bumped it up from a 9 to a 10. GREAT job!

Exquisite lighting in this shot... I love the composition and crop. The warm feel of the image really comes across - nice job! It makes me think that I can almost smell the fresh baby... Superb work.

Black swans

Comment:
Having been raised around fowl of all kinds (including white & black swans), I really appreciate this image. I love the way that the swans necks seem to create a natural heart. The Australian black swans' mating rituals are truly poetic in their rituals and the permutations of movement they create. The swans look like they may have been a little overprocessed (on their edges), but the clarity of the overhead leaves and the softness of the background work very well. VERY nice shot! Congrats & good luck! (8)

Balance

I love the relative "unbalanced" feel of the shot. Truly a remarkable job. Exceptional cropping and color tones - the composition is impeccable. It looks a little overprocessed (IMHO), but I'm not always very good at determining between naturally occurring abnormalities and the PP ones. I really like the image a lot. (9)
