I see an awful lot of artifacting in this image. The file size itself it normal, but the image itself looks like it was either oversharpened or saved with excessive compression at some previous point.

Catching this bird may have been just blind luck, or there may have been a bunch flocking. Either way, this works well for me.

Don't eat it Snow White!! It's leftover from the Brothers Grimm challenge and is probably rotten by now!

A little dark, but you got some wonderful smooth tones in this.

Not the kind of shot I normally expect to see in a challenge on this site. Pretty decent for what it is. Well composed, decently lit. My eye is guided right up to the store's name. If I had hired you to do a good shot of this store for an advertisement, I would be pleased. If I were an overly picky and anal DPC member, I might have bumped up the curves, saturation and contrast just a wee bit to give it a little more visual impact. Good thing that's not the case...

Actually, the more I look at this, the more I think you've done a good job with a relatively ordinary subject. A type of shot that is bread and butter for many professional photogs.

Maybe a little too much of that golden glow keeps it from standing out against the background. Might be able to make some selective adjustments to get the buck to stand out better.

Neat looking, and a fun idea. Sometimes you can manage this kind of partial desat in basic and it works great.

Edit to fix typo. (I'm a little anal about misspellings)

A little dark, and the major elements all seem to be arranged around the outer edges of the frame. There seems a big empty area in the middle.

Added: Hmmm,... a big empty area in the middle. I wonder if that is part of what you are trying to convey here. My vote on this one is going up. If that was actually intended to be part of the message it was too subtle for most voters, including me.
