I think if the seagul was reversed with the light, this photo would have been far more effective. Too bad you weren't standing on the other side *grin* However the composition is unusual and I like it.

I feel the streetlight is more important than the bird in this picture ... nice shot otherwise.

I'd rather see more of that pretty tree than the background.

To me this photo look very harsh. I think the pure white house in full sunlight is just too much. The stop sign and the power lines also detract. I does look like a beautiful tree and I think that if you shot this later in the day, when the light was not so harsh, and composed it so the tree filled the frame it would make a great shot. Keep working at it!

This does show the entire tree.....but a whole lot of other things too. The white of the house gives a good contrast, but with so many elements in the frame, it detracts from the subject. Focus seems indeterminate, I can't tell what is strongly in focus, very little detail of the tree. 5 Rob the Swash

CC....Greeting to you...ladpupmoe

Fits The Challenge-Yes
Composition-Good
Background-Good
My Opinion-text"I found that I had capture a snowflake in mid-air." YES!! and really neat too. Good going!!! You could crop that down to just the snow flake. Interesting. Fun. I think the light is a bit bright for shooting snow...not easy. It's really something you have to watch and be aware of. The colors are good as is the composition. The focus looks a bit off, but hey... ya don't go around catching snowflakes in mid air every day. Shoot more.

make sure your principal subject is in focus. try thighter crop and the rule of 3rd in your composition. here, everything but the three was not necessary, just a branch or few flowers of the tree would have given a better image. Hope that helps. Keep up submitting.

This is an interesting shot. At first I thought this house was on wheels till I realised they were bushes under the house. The power lines are pulling my eyes away from the tree a little.
