I loved this photo in the challenge. The control of DOF in this shot was superb.The way that your wings fade in and out into the background makes for some extreme depth in this photo and really give a great 3d effect.

The feathers on the body are very sharp yet seem smooth at the same time. I also loved the crispness of the background. I also loved the capture of the catch light in the eye. and the placement of the eye on the left vertical 3rd. was beautiful.

It was one of my 10's picked for this challenge and one I had picked to ribbon. Sorry to hear about the DQ. Especially on such a beautiful photo.

Great job with the composition of the flower Janine, Love the lead in of the branch on the upper left. Nice job with the selective desaturation, nice job not to let the color bleed to the other hearts as well.

Great job with your presentation with the boarder, it really highlights the coloration of the flower. Perhaps a bit of a burn of the bright area behind the flower no to much though it is adding a nice amount of depth to the overall photo. Congrats on the score.

Reminds me of

Out of all your bird shots, I love this one the most. and there are a ton of them I like. So detailed in the motion that the precision of focus was wonderful. Great detail over all and I love how the feet hang below the hawk.

Excellent, thanks for sharing.

Really nice capture of color in the water, I would have guessed that this was a river at sunset. I love the texture in the water and the warm tones from your tv that you have captured.

I love how the barn grasps fr your attention while perusing this beautiful landscape, I dont know why but it attracts me back to it everytime I so to look out apon the horizon And for 60+ Mph, its a very nice shot. Maybe we should have a speed challenge where you need to take a picture out of a moving car. That could be fun!

I love the rainbow of coloring that is in ths image. the offsett of the orange to the oil stain seems to work so well together. This also has great texture to it.

Really interesting processing on this one, I think the neon glow makes the sky look real cool. It reminds me of an older black light poster I had hanging up in my room.

Beutiful bird, I really loved the boarder in this shot. I like that its transparently black(if that makes sense) Great positioning in the frame for both the face and the body.

Awesome denise, maybe you could lighten his face a bit with a shadow/highlight. I am jealous of this shot. He is my fav Boston Player.
