People at dpc like to say that centered images are not as good as images that are using the rule of thirds - this is arguable in theory and on this photo ... I'm not really sure - but i think this might be both - if cropped just a smidge tighter - the lighting is great and the bird and tailfeathers are interesting and detailed -- I've found these birds to be quite cooperative in photos :) 7

This is beautiful but since I have experience altering my own photos i can see that the horizon area remains altered-looking (soft and too perfect in an unnatural way ... or at least appears to be altered. The colors are wonderful though and it still has a unique and intriguing feel to it. 7

Wow - awesome capture. The darker midtones could be pumped up a tad and perhaps sharpened just to bring them out a little efrom the waves (I'm just saying this because i think it is exquisite and worthy of a poster so you should definitely put it up for sale). Nice work 8

I commented during the challenge but I want to add this: This is a photo that you have to look at for at least 3.4x longer than the average photo. As I'm sure you know, there are several interesting characters in this captured moment: Guy with tinted glasses, guy with untinted glasses, the mysterious tall person walking away from the camera, guy in the very forefround, woman looking up, the guy in the distance thinking you should not take his picture ... I definitely think the European location allows for a more classic and interesting look considering that there are no baseball hats or Oakley sunglasses. OK ... it's about you now, not my rambling. Congrats.
