Nice closeup. Pity about the bar behind the eagle - in my thinking, the picture could be better without it, or with something more than just that portion of the bar.

Great shot of Mr. Eagle. I saw one a few weekends ago here in Prince Edward Island, Canada but by the time I got my camera ready he was gone. It's very rare to see one around here. You have to be quick when you do. Good luck in the challenge.

I like the graphic quality of your picture as well as the contrast and colors....it all works so well...you should make a print out of this.

Isn't using Neat Image a violation of rules? It's an non-linear process and not part of the camera?

Jacko, This is a great concept and you pulled it off very well. It also clearly meets the challenge.

The one thing that stands out for me is the blank backside of your strips. Did you consider printing on both sides? As if you didn't already give yourself enough work. Keeping it pretty much black and white works well making it very clean and easy to understand.

I like your composition quite a bit. There is a nice combination of straight lines and curves. It has a nice balanced feel to it.

The depth of field is very appropriate for this image. The slight blurring as it recedes helps to convey a bigger sense of depth which supports your idea well.

The lighting is pretty good overall allthough slightly contrasty as evidenced by the very bright area on the backside of the curved loops in the middle. You may have intended this so it stood out more but I would have preferred some more diffused light.

It is executed very well with clean sharp lines.

I feel like I am basically nitpicking a very good image with a tough topic. Nice job.

Tim

For lack of a better phrase, the "silky" painting-like colors of this image are outstanding. It draws attention to the sky as the subject.
