if you are new to photography, i'd work on it's basics before delving into the intricate features of photoshop such as bevel. if you are going for the brown you're a stronger person than me.-3

Quality issues are the main problem for me here - there are pale halos around the dark edges, the focus doesn't seem great either. Nor is the silhouette ideal as there is too much foliage competing with the bird. The border is also not appealing to me.

Hmmm, the border does nothing for this, seems out of focus and poorly exposed..

Comment by Shannon:
The quality of this image is very poor in my opinion, the focus is extremely soft, and there seems to be alot of noise.

Comment by SJCarter:
This does meet the challenge, and for that I give you marks. But the blurriness of the photo and the darkness of it are real distractions to me (IMHO). Also, the border doesn't seem to add anything to this particular shots (and I do like borders when used effectively). I can almost see how you may have been going for a silhouette effect, but there's just enough detail & color visible to make it not work for me. And again, I think if it were in focus, it would have scored MUCH better. Cool idea, I just think that this particular shot may not have done what you hoped. Sorry (3).

Way over sharpened, the purple is killing the shot. Nestime desaturater the purple and or darken it to match the black.

i love the pregnant form, this is just a little too noisy

i also think the composition could be a little to the right. that would move the brain to see less of the pregnant stomach, almost causing the idea of having a baby to override the pregnancy itself

great picture :-)

I like the idea of a silhouette, but, it's just too blurry.

Way too overdone with the effects.
