Wheel

Comment by notonline:
I don't know if its the contrast or the soft focus I don't like but one of the 2 is bugging me. It makes the photo appear to be blurry which can naturally happen when shooting wood. It may also be color balance. As for the subject IMO wagon wheels have been over done on this site altho it does fit the challenge. Perhaps a sharpening thru photo shop and playing with the color levels would have improved this shot a bit. I also would have liked to seen the sides cropped more to bring the attention to the wheel and not the wood thats framing it. Perhaps a B&W conversion and contrast adjustment would have also made a difference in this photo. Good luck in this challenge. <5>

I must say that I fint the plants in the foreground disturbing. They ditract the eye. The plants by the wheel though are perfect, it could even had been more.....nothing you could do anything about ofcourse! Lovely picture otherwise!!

Nice composition and setting. Colours and contrast seem muddier and duller than they should be though ... may be a workflow issue?

Comment by dockode:
I don't 'feel' as thought the bird is making any decision. The photo, which although a very good one, doesn't depict the action of making a decision or request the veiwer to make a decision. The title helps to understand your perspective as the photographer (ie.. what is that bird thinking?) but I don't feel it in the photo. Actually decision making is difficult to depict in animals, their expressions are not as easily recongnizable as a humans. Just my opinion. Otherwise a very nice photo.

The tree is well represented in this pic, but the bird seems hard to see clearly. It is a hard photo to get a nice composition with. Maybe a zoom lens, if you didn't use one, would have helped.
