My Little Chickadee

I love the deep contrasts here. I think turning the photo blue was a good choice - it's a cold color, and reinforces the fact that it's winter; as seen by the snow on the branch. The only thing I don't really like is the grain. Otherwise; lovely shot!

absolutely STUNNING! This is so powerful... and tragic. The sepia tone was a perfect choise I think, because it is usally associated with "oldness" and thus "death." The simplicity of your composition also is perfect; it grabs the viewer's attention. EXCELLENT shot!!!

So beautiful! I love the post-editing, and the way you desaturated it!How on earth did you get such a surreal effect? Very good work!

A really sweet, pretty photo. I found the eyes very striking... and then read the previous comment about there not being highlights. I actually like that! It's kind of neat looking IMO. :)

Nice! I'm always a sucker for black backgrounds. Beautiful colors and contrasts. I like the simple curves of the branch.

I like the simple clean-ness of this too! Here is a shot though that would be cool to try using the rule of thirds a little more... it might be interesting to see what it looked like if it more towards the upper right-hand corner, for example. A nice, pretty shot!

The Evil Eye

Cool! I know from experience myself how difficult it is to photograph black-furred animals: either the details of the fur become very harsh or washed out, or the details are completely lost in a black void. But I think you've captured the fur details perfectly here! It would be cool if the cat's eyes were a little wider open (although it certainly does make the cat look evil!) But, having a cat myself, I know how difficult models they can be!
