I feel this could have been effective if it was a real bird, I like the softness of the curtain and the colors here, but the fact that it is pretty obviously a fake bird, really detracts from the photo for me. It just looks too contrived. Compositionally, lighting wise and color wise if you had a real bird I would have given you a very high score, but I am all for realism, I apologize, it just really bothers me. I also like the hammock (?) in the background. Still a 7 but with a real bird - prolly would have gone 9 or 10

A simple & unusual shot with great interest. I like that little visitor. it even looks like it could be made of wood. I wonder what it's thinking about. Some might not like the curtain and may want to see the whole window and bird only, but I think it's the bit of curtain that actually makes the shot stand out from similar shots. It's what makes it work liek it does.

Meets the challenge in a lovely, whimsical way. Shame about the blue outside which distracts from the rest of the composition.

This cat reminds me of my lovely old cat that died 10 years ago. You can see the character shining out of Smokey's eyes. Does she have any available offspring?
