View From Three Windows

Eye-catching abstract. The top and sides feel a bit cramped with the trim on the edges of the image, but I don't if more room could have been achieved since I don't know what you were working with. Still I like the pop of the wood and the color variation of the window panes against the tinny background. Good eye.

Very lovely still life. The textures are delightful. Not sure how this fits selective desaturation.

Nice job in fading the blue water into your B&W area. They look like they are having a grand time - nice tribute to their outing.

Awwww - what a sweetie. Love that he is stock-still except for the very tippy-tip of that beating tail that says, "I love you, Mom."

Great tension and power. Very effective lighting. I like how the red color of the gloves help the eye follow the action. Regrettably, it appears as though there may be a technical issue on the left-most shoulder. Nonetheless, a compelling study.

What a strong abstract! Nine without hesitation. Ten after further rumination. Good luck.

Delightful - and feisty - little birds. When one conked itself against a large window this past winter - a young red tailed hawk had just strafed the heated bird waterer - I brought him indoors and overnighted him in a warm box in the guest bathroom. He was spirited and ready to leave the next morning. Despite the twig above his eye, this is a wonderful in-a-tree capture. Good work! Thanks for sharing.

The sharp vertical striations of the grass is interesting against the fuzzy wool and quite marked despite both being nearly the same color. Wonderful catch. Thanks for sharing.

The bustling action on either side is nicely anchored with the center hand rails. Actually, the centeredness of the handrails bestows stalwartness to this image while simultaneously adding a subtle momentum upward. Seven.
