This is so beautiful and peaceful, almost dreamlike. The water was also still enough to give a wonderful reflection. Well done!

Wonderful soft background and crystal clear foreground. I like the saturation and the way you have caught the bird with it's wings out and also looking to the side so that you can see detail in his face. Well done.

Great placement in the frame and I love the way the wingtips curl.

Lovely! It looks like the wing is covered with thousands of tiny crystals. I like the narrow depth of field too!

The Majestic

Wonderful picture with nice detail in the white feathers. The sky is a great contrast. I know this type of photo is really difficult to plan but considering your background is so clear and therefore easy to work with, what about cutting out the slice of sky between the bird and the wooden perch to narrow the distance between them and then extending the sky in front of the bird to give it more space to fly into. If you try an edit like this, I would love to see it!

OMG, I didn't see the bear till I read the name. That's so good!

Excellent concept! Maybe just lighten the hand a little to show more detail.

Good colour saturation and composition.

Excellent shot! I love the softness in the background and the way you have managed to catch the birds eye so clearly. Gives him a rather far away, dreamy expression. Poor thing though, wonder what happened to his little foot!

I love the out of focus petals in the background and the bright colours. The fly is also well placed and nicely photographed. Only one small gripe, the shadow cast by the fly is a bit strong.
