nice effect. I am not sure how it fits the title but I like it. may have been better on a different color background.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi seebrown :)

The 'heron' is definitely a gorgeous bird. They are quite large and make excellent subjects for photographs. We have great blue herons around here also, but they are very difficult to approach. I can't even get close enought to one often enough with my 300mm lens to get a decent shot. They are quite skittish. ONe of these days I plan to go set up in a blind and wait for one to show up.

This photo didn't score particularly well in the challenge. Only one of your comments was critical and it was regarding the focus. The image does seem just a tad soft, but not terribly soft. I believe that the environment was more of a factor in the score than the softness. The background is bright and contrasty rather than smooth and subtle. I know you have no control over that, but it still plays a role in the viewer perception of the image. In a free study, you really need something that is absolutely perfect in every way to stand out from the crowd...

I can't draw a conclusion on your title and how it integrates with the image either... It's not supportive of the image and it gives no insight (that I can determine) to your theme...

Really nice idea and yes it does tell me about the movie in a very subtle yet powerful way. Nice job.

I like your idea here and I like the colors. I do see the flower as a bit too dark for interest. Overall a good job.

I'm jealous that I didn't have such a great idea! Love it!
