Interesting. I don't know but the darks seem a little too dark. Not enough detail in the darks. Perhaps it is cropped to close. Overall the photograph doesn't work for me. It depends on the use for this photo. In an ad for (something) I guess it might work. I can see it with copy text on the upper right and middle right side.

I like your color treatment. Too bad about the two people walking by - either that or I would have preferred all of him to half of him. Also, that's quite the menacing sky.

i like the selective desat, the background seems oversharpened to me though

I love this selective desat! What a terrific image! Love the dual attention grabbers.

Two world famous icons indeed.

I wonder whether if you are going to point out that there are two focal points to your picture (and I don't mean the young lady in this instance) they should either both be B&W or both colour ?

Great clarity on this candid shot, really nice DoF. Can't think of any improvement suggestions, sorry.

A gorgeous bird. I would have liked to see the feet not cut off though. Maybe try tweaking in PS a bit to get the beak a bit more contrasted against the water - as is they almost blend in together. Nice detail in the feathers. Not knowing what was to the left of the bird - the direction it is facing, I am hesitant to suggest a different crop. But, if it is water to the other side, as is on the right, I would like to see how that perspective looked in comparison. Not sure if I would have the bird looking outside the frame unless there were distractants to the left.

Wow, excellent Egret! Water color is real nice, and detail on the bird is good. These birds are very tough to get close, and very tough to get without major blowouts in the white. My only knock is the composition (and thats a very minor knock).
