I'd consider cropping slightly on the left and the bottom to bring the core of the rose more to one of the golden intersections. Lovely though.

Greetings from The Critique Club

I am afraid this picture is going to give me troubles. Is hard to tell someone that you don't like something. You might hurt his feeling and this is not at all my intention. Specially when looking through the portfolio, all the rest is so incredible beautiful. I am sorry. I think it is the red next to the shades of pink that makes me look away. That what it is. It hurts the eyes. Otherwise, the photo has something to tell for itself. It looks as much as a flame as it looks like a bird. The red is a very intense color and can suggest lots of things starting from love and ending with rage. But it doesn't help the picture. The focus is good, I like the spark in the eye of the eagle. Somewhere, probably in PS the photo got a bit noisy. Other than that, no more complains. Everything else is good. I really hate that I have to post something like this. The good thing is that I can edit this at any time so if you have any complains, PM me and I'll look again at it.
Anyway... is just my opinion... others might think different.

Best regards, Elena

This might have been better in color. Im deffinatly seing an overuse of B&W shots for this contest.

Who surprised who in this shot? :-)) Great wildlife photo. Good composition. Love it in b&w, as it brings up the textures. The background would have been better if it were more blurred (less dof), but since this is in b&w it doesn't really distract that much. 10

A very classic deer photography pose. Excellent composition, and some DOF in the photo which is a plus.
