"Desperation"

Comment by Artifacts:
Conveys the idea of a dark prospect. Would the inclusion of a ring indicate considering murdering one's spouse, perhaps? :)

The perspective of this image is fine, but it is unclear what the device at the top of the frame is. That acts as a distraction for the viewer. It looks as though noise reduction software was applied to the image and left overly smooth patches on the skin and table. The tiny whit speck on top of the hand should be removed.

Generally speaking, though, the technical quality of the image is decent and the way the light and shadow is distributed is interesting. Guns seem prevelent in DPC images and voters are jaded to seeing them and that may have a negative effect on your score.

I like the bird being silhouetted, but I wonder if it wouldn't look better cropped in a bit tighter so that it's a larger piece of the image. I also would play with trying to straighten the roofline a bit; I found it jarring to look at. Good try.

Maybe a little bit less light could represent it better.

This was my initial thought of darkness - but couldn't pull it off. You captured it though. Something about the hand is a little off but still a good 7

Comment by theSaj:
okay...this one just did not appeal to me...if you captured it with the wings out stretched....or if you cropped the bottom off (the dark part beneath the roof is too distracting. It's hard but I gave this a 2. And thought I'd share why.

The birds silhouette is just too small to be a major factor in this thus making the roof seem more dominant. But I also understand that it is darn hard to get these birds to listen to us and do what we want.

I would be curious to see the comments you receive on this...the small bird on the rooftop and vast sky works for me. One of the more original shots of the challenge. I am much more a composition guy than a technician. I like it.

Good pic - would have rated it higher if there was not so much glare.

I like the simplicity of the silhouette. Wish it were a touch more crisp with the focus.

Freat macro capture with zest. Bumping up.
