wow, that's cool. I never would have thought of that, a darker background would have made that "pop" a little better perhaps, neat idea

Good idea - the subject a a great match for the challenge. Wish the focus was better and the background were whiter. The raised contrast and color saturation has created a wierd ine between light and shaddow on the orange.

The purple fringing around the bird's head and back are the only downside to this lovely image.

Nice composition and color. Focus is good. It's a nice shot overall, but compared to some of the other entries it just doesn't have the impact they do. An above average shot though and a 7 from me.

7 - Very nice, nice complementary background color and 'bokeh' too. Criticism; definitely 640 width would have helped this. Sharper (though the detail in the feathers is good), and perhaps a slight crop adjustment (eliminating the minor distracting elements - thin tan/brown line on left and possibly the fork in the branch top right, etc), may have made this even better.

Very pretty shot. I like the placement of the monument and the figures. The dark lawn might be a tad brighter by removing the black in the selective color adjustment (green). Just a thought.

Nice title, good composition. Lighting is a bit dark...

Great colors. Almost looks more like a painting than a photograph.
