Comment by SeanPresher:
I love the way the crooked branch frames in the bird. I just feel that there is a lot of the image that could've been cropped out to get an even closer image of the bird with the crooked branch still in it. The bird in the image as a whole, is a little lost. The twig peeking in on the top of the image is a little distracting and could've been cropped out as I mentioned.

What in the world is this image doing so far down the list?

I thought it would be in the top ten!

Wow! Wonderful! Love that blank background and the bit of mic. I'd have cloned the missed hairs on his cheek to make it perfect.

I like that this tells a plausible story for why the model's eyes are closed instead of just closing the eyes for the sake of the challenge. There are some oddly colored areas in the background (adjacent to the model's upper eye and below and left of the model's ear).

I would have pulled back a bit on the grass highlights and tried to emphasize the people more. Would have been better if the child was in full view.
