Red Flight

Nice stark contrasts, and capture of takeoff is blurred enough to convey the feeling of flight. Gets my top vote.

Gorgeous swirls of color, a very appealing blurry mess. Title is about as perfect as you can get! 10

This is fabulous, Deb - I think the transfer-like border goes well with this.

Boy, all that snow acted as a great natural reflector, to light up his breast feathers! Stunning capture, Ernie - congrats!

Art Feeds Us...

To each his own - the fluttery bird *makes* the composition, for me. :) Square crop seems absolutely right for this composition, demands it even, which is more of a gut feeling - I couldn't tell you exactly why that is so. Again with this one, I find myself wishing for more contrast - you seem to have a lot of midtone range here and not so much highlights and shadows, which leaves the b/w treatment feeling a bit flat. Now this could very well be a matter of personal taste - I tend to favor strong contrasts in b/w images.

Three Mice

All that wall height is well-chosen - if the shot were framed closer in, you would lose the "mousehole" sense. The graffiti and road markings keeps our eye line rooted to the level of the "mice", so we can't miss them. As a point of personal preference, I might make it more contrasty overall to see what that does for the image.
