Nice colors, nice composition. Don't like the DOF though: the background should be either sharp or more out of focus, as it is now it draws my attention away from the bird. 6

I like this image a lot. You captured the texture of his skin extremely well, it's all sharp. Framing is good, I like the way his head and trunk fill the frame. The only thing that's bothering me a little bit is that the background almost blends in with his chin, that part of his head does not really stand out against the background. More blurring of the background might have improved that (but I realize you're already at the largest opening of this lens), or choosing a different standpoint. I'm not too fond of such a wide border as you have used here, but that's a personal thing.

Congrats on a nice image!

The idea is nice, but it is quite out of focus and grainy.

Nice color! I would have liked to see either more cropping at the bottom (removing the houses) or more of the base of the tower and houses. As it is now they appear floating.

Not bad, but the top and bottom borders are a major distraction.

Would have been nice with better lighting, it's way too dark.

Lighting is very nice. The two dark figures in the back are a bit distracting, my eyes keep wandering to them instead of the center figure.

Nice view, would have liked it better with more of the dark left and right parts cropped off.

A "Shift" Back to the Past

Composition is very good, and I like the 'slick' atmosphere of this image a lot! The link to the challenge seems a bit weak though, I guess the knob of the stick-shift is centered intentionally...

Nice composition, there's a slightly pink colorcast though.
