Amazing eyes - The "GRACO" is just far to prominent and takes your focus away from the eyes which is very distracting - Shame as the tones are lovely too.

Comment by gjumi:
I like how there isn't a sharp defined horizon, how the reflections are blurred, while the subjects are sharp (maybe too sharp?), and how the coldness of the colours make me feel calm while watching this photo. Now, as for the subjects, I think there are too many and too scattered away, but the good thing is that they are too small. And the best thing is that there's a big piece of something there on the right, so that it doesn't let my attention go completely off.

9 - Wow. Even with the blown sky dominating a fraction too much overall, in my opinion, this is a very nice image. Took me a split second more than I anticipated to find the 'WATCHER', but he/she is a very good element and well placed in the image. Wish the WATCHER had a little more 'pop', but obviously difficult with these tones/ranges. Really like the overall feel of this image and the composition. The toning works very well also. Maybe the top cropped a fraction tighter, not sure. Sure this would make a very nice print. Again - just wish the WATCHER 'popped'. Up to 9 from 8 and taking liberty of adding to Favorites.

Composition doesn't really bring out any subject strongly enough. Blown highlights in the trees are also distracting.

I really do like this composition, and the black & white feeling here..... Almost looks like an etching.....
