Beautiful art glass. Fits challenge well, other than I think I know what it is.

Beautifully seen. Great color. I particularly like the stamen shadows on the petals.

Soft, but it works with the subject. Lovely.

I really like the idea of this shot a lot. The whole photo seems to be a little on the dark side to me. Also, I would like to see the fountain made level with just a slight counter clockwise rotation. I'm still trying to decide on the baby's blue hat. I think I might like it better without that bit of blue. I think no hat on the baby would have been better. I do like the flowers in the foreground and the overall composition of the photo.

Whether it was by accident, coincidence, planning, or photoshop, the fuschia hat and baby's outfit are perfect for this composition. I adore this photo...it has a dreamy, fairy-tale like quality that I just love. It does seem to be tilted down to the right a tad, and I wish the light were a tiny bit brighter on the girls, but I love it anyway.

Greetings from the CC, with a chuckle, I just complained in a thread about having to critique ribbon winning shots and my next shot is yours! LOL
Well, this is a beautiful shot, the golden tones, the fortune of the capture, 2 magnificient birds in flight. The thing that makes this shot for me is the emotional feel givn from the bird on the left which seems to be looking over to check how its mate is doing. I hope this helps a little, my complaint was that I find it hard to critique shots that are very well done. good work, keep clicking.
