This is a sharp picture, but the disembodied arms and appearance of being a staged photo are detractors for me. 5

Nice capture - the clarity of the bird and the softness of the rest of the picture is a great feature. 7

For the last few months, since my membership here (DPC), I have been learning to look longer at images like this. I am trying to learn how to articulate why this type of photo appeals to me and am really have a hard time of it. I like this image, I like the way it makes me feel - it brings a calming and relaxing feeling; almost comfortable. I don't know everything that's happening here with either the subject nor the photographer. I don't know how, or even if, this image has been post processed. I wish I could better say what it is for me and why . . . 9

Hmmm . . . there is another person in this challenge who might want to have words with you! I like the lighting and how the details aren't lost in the shadows of the eaves. I don't know what it is about this picture, though, that just doesn't seem to work . . . it seems out of balance or awkward. 5

The lines, focus point and B/W come together to make a comforting image for me. I really like this - 8

I like the effect that B/W has on this photo - there is enough light to show the details without blowing it out. 6

Mechanized pharmacist? Unfortunately, with the out of focus, harsh light and too-tight crop, I gotta give a 4.

So many of the details are lost in the harsh and blown out light and there is really very little that is interesting about this picture . . . but the title and the photo both line up well to meet the challenge! 5

Wow - what a huge project! What a great thing to be a part of! With everything going on here, the perspective of the photographer using the expanse of the sky adds to the "bigness" of this image. 7
