Robin - detail
by Simms

Comment:
Lovely detail on this robin, and you have captured a real sense of oneness with nature. I do, though, wish you hadn't framed quite so tight, and had left a little more room to the left of the beak.

Interesting, and matches your title very well. I wonder if it would be possible to process so that the 'glow' around the stem and leaves could be lost?

A Glorious Light Fell Upon The Earth

I like this very much. The only negative for me is the lack of detail in the cliffs on the left of the horizon, especially when compared to those to the right.

Very well done, but what happened to the pencil lead?

Cool

Comment:
Cool in both senses, and well exposed revealing a good level of textural detail. Ultimately, though, not enough to keep my attention.

Certainly gaining points for capturing such a wonderful expression and sense of vitality and fun. The composition is god, and the setting a really good choice. It is such a shame that there is so much visible noise/JPEG artifacts, as it does detract from the image.

I really like this, and it is certainly one of the stronger entries, but I do wish it wasn't sharpened to the point where every pore is visible.

Avedon Inspiration

I wonder if this was taken from behind a screen? There is a textural effect visible on the hair and part of the helmet that to my eyes at least doesn't really add anything to the overall image, and the overall feel is one of soft focus, where for this subject I feel a sharper image would be more suited. It is a shame that the helmet strap is undone - I think the model would look more single-mindedly focussed with it fastened.
