Wowsers! This is outstanding. The thumbnail does not show the birds at all and then bam, there they are. An amazing image. 10 from me, it still greets me in surprise when I click on this.

I have looked at this 3 times now, and every time I click on it, I swear the man in the reflections seems to be playing a piano. It is a really fantastic optical illusion or it is my brain converting that car to fit the scene. Either way, if you just got rid of that rim, it would look like a piano. But it is brilliant. I love how this has tricked me every time I see it. 7

Everyone looks so tired and done for the day. I enjoyed reading the poem(?) about Manhood.

Well, what can you say. Not your usual point of view and it is fabulous!!!!!! I love it, the wings curling, the softness of the yellow, the head sharpness. You know exactly what this is, without seeing what it is. Outstanding job. Can not give this anything other than a 10

Oh my goodness, but is that gorgeous, a little too sharp maybe, but WOW on the eyes, stunning wing structure and colour. Can not give it anything but a 9

I really like how this makes me feel warm when I look at it. Could be the grins of the boys, could be the golden sparkly vegetation. But it gives out an abundance of warmth. Very well done!

What a fabulous photo of a great time that was had by all. They look like right mischief makers! The chap's shorts on the left though are in focus versus the kiddies.

I gave this a 9. I thought it was a very powerful shot, with a story behind it. Probably got so dinged as it was not a full portrait of a head. But this is so emotive, I can honestly see this hanging in a gallery. I am sorry, I did not know your father was poorly, What a struggle for him and yourself. I think that the score affects you more, as you are pouring your heart into the photo as much as into real life. If you can, please do not stop taking photos of your Dad or life. Try to ignore the low votes and just be so proud of what you are communicating in your photos to some people. That is what counts in the end, that you did touch people, who have no idea about what is going on. All my love to you both.

Edited to add. On the my vote scale, you came in 5th place in the challenge.

Well, wow, I am a tad shocked, I thought this was fantastic. You have all this light, fantastic model and even stars in the night sky! I am guessing it may be because this is not a head portrait. I would be super proud if I had managed something like this. Well done.
