There is no sense of speed in this photograph which I guess is interesting but I feel that you are pulling one over on us...

Excellent subject matter but it's hard for the viewer to decide what to focus on exactly. I don't mind photographs that are challenging and that have a lot going on because sometimes they produce excellent results but for this one, I think I would have either cropped it or done some kind of montage or focus on a particular pane or area. Having said all that, it is a nice find.

Once again originality takes a back seat on this site. The masses are so used to see pretty babies that are perfectly lit with no noise and heavane forbid any shadows. Your photo is highly original and sculptural in nature. It is a photo about form and yes, it has tons of ambience and who cares if it is eerie. Good art provokes us and makes us think. I am stunned to see that this work did not place higher. I would have had it slated in the top 3 at least. Congratulations once again on an excellent and highly original photo.

The people don't understand what their supposed to be focusing on are essentially photography's version of trailer trash. These people have no imagination nor sensitivity. They simply regurgitate the images that they have already seen a million times. I loved your photo. I don't think people realize how difficult it is to pull off such a photo and how interesting it is and how it goes beyond pictures of a bird with a beak and into the realm of fine art. It is something that is to be appreciated and taken in small sips, like the finest of wines. Congratulations once again for such a fine work of ART.
