This is one amazing photo. Sharpness is superb and the texture of the surface of the water as well as the bird are superb. Bird is placed along right third of frame. Reflection is complete and makes for an impressive overall image. Intersection of thirds lines, however are at the back of the bird's body. This shot is everything but perfect.

Amazing picture with great tones. Definitely my top pick and pretty sure this will take a ribbon. Good job.

Love the rich coppery tones. I wish the bird were a bit better focused, but the placement and the reflection is spot on.

lovely picture, well composed
the subject just barly makes it into the right third but it is too good a shot to get so picky over good luck

Truly a lovely image reminiscent of something very spiritual. It reminds me of those old heaven and angel ink drawings. This would have been my favorite for a ribbon. Congratulations on your top 20 finish.

I like the water flowing over the rocks...but the exposure gives the rocks the illusion of bark almost...I might of cropped this a bit more...got a give it a nine for effort
