too much noise & saturation on the woman.

The lighting is interesting but it's hard to make out whhere the light is coming from , what's behind here, and what she's looking up at.

It looks more like the girl was the focus of this, and not the rocks.

good capture of a nice bright bird. would have loved to see this image cropped a bit higher, cause it may be that your story is in the upper 2/3 of the frame. Still it's a good one.

Rut Roh! Don't tick off that Cardinal fan, LOL! :)

Very cute, nice shot but the branch cutting through the top feathers is very distracting but sadly, even though this was an advanced challenge, the entire removal of said branch might be considered a major element. I like the composition and set up otherwise though a slightly tighter cropping on the bottom to take out all those distracting colors there might really pull the viewer to the bird. A 6

Wonderful composition. It makes me smile just looking at it. That is what photographs should always do, communicate feeling. Thank you!

Wow, what a stud he is too! The one in Gale's barn is named AJ, short for AppleJack.

This is a very nice shot, the angle is well done but I could have lived without the butt, LOL! :)

Coloration decsion was well done, just a bit of a bright spot on his nose but nothing major. Was at an 8 (because of the butt) but I'll forgive you for that and raise you to a 9 :)

Beautiful sepia to enhance the deep beauty of this cool guy. Bumping up.

This is my second go around =) - I love your title =) I really like your idea for angle... however, his backside is distracting from his face... at least to me =) Otherwise, EXCELLENT! Great job! Tones, contrast are perfect.
