My World

I really struggled with this one and the other "in the round" shot, trying to decide how I felt about keeping things "photographic." I really like both images, but this one still feels more like a photo, albeit a heavily distorted one. On the other hand, the sky here is merely a bland background, not really a "key" element. Balancing it all out, I'm giving this a 5. In a free study with expert rules, I'd probably give this a 7 or 8.

Beautiful. 8. If the tower weren't oversharpened, a 9.

Looks like you pushed the contrast in the blue sky too far - hence it's blotchy. And the birds are oversharpened - hence the halos. Sorry, but those distract me quite a bit.

Interesting, but too much art and not enough photography for me.

This is about the birds, and the sky is completely white, so I don't see this as meeting the challenge.
