This image is warm and rich and what a study to hang on the wall. Congratulations on your top 20 finish. Very well done.

So did you buy a surrealistic filter at the photo store or do create this look from thin air? Seriously, I like the look and would love to hear how you did it, but it does look a tad overdone.

One of my ribbon picks -- I've been trying to capture the fall colors and you've far exceeded what I could do... really like the water drops and the composition

Greetings from the Critique Club

Very nice capture. Good detail.

I tend to agree with comments made during the challenge your crop is to tight on the left side. I'm wondering what would have happened if you had cropped it to only have the top two birds in flight.

Your sky looks good with the exception of the graininess.

I like this and applaud you for such a well focused photo of birds in flight and yes I do believe this fit the challenge and deserved to do better, especially when the only real issue with the composition is a little to tight of a crop.

The water drops are getting old, but this photo is so incredibly goregous that I'll forgive them. GREAT colors.
