The focus seems to be on the leaves and limbs instead of the bird to me.

Too dingy and out of focus to be a really high scorer, IMO.

WAY too much contrast and sharpening ruins a great composition and action photo. It looks too fake.

The subject, not the background, should be in focus, IMO. This would be better without the bird... "Three Boats"

Too much contrast and the head looks like it was cut off, so the composition could be better. I like the 'three', though.

Perhaps it's my monitor, but I think this could use a bit more light.

Out of place.

There is no detail in the ball... it's just so blown... I don't know. I think it would be better... and even good, without the ball. Kind of an abstract, I think.

Whoa.. .this is just really not a good photo. There's nothing that appeals to me here. The red 'blood' and the red of her face and hair bands clash...and the hair in pigtails and her mouth hidden and... and... I'm sorry. It's the first 1 I've ever given, I think. I'm sorry.

I gave it a nine, Tim... I really like your idea and the "execution" (I hate to use that word anywhere near your adorable son). The only reason it wasn't a ten is that I really don't like the look of faces/eyes Inverted. Might be prejudiced... but that's my story and I'm sticking with it. *grin* Congrats on your big win! You always have fascinating images.

I wish this were shot a bit more directly from the front. Or at least the upper right light window frame cropped out. I like the patterns very much.
