After a long happy day

Shot itself not bad at all, but your post processing could have been better, especially the contrast in the image seems a bit flat and could use a boost, of course this is just my opinion.

Very nice, perhaps (and this is just a suggestion) it would have worked better if you had moved a little to the right so that the road was just on the right side of the rune stone instead of going behind it like that but just a suggestion. Like the tones in it and the sky, gives it a very "otherworldly" feel. Would have given it a 7 if I had voted on this challenge.

Sorry and I bet I am not the first to comment on this, but that frame really doesn´t work here in my opinion, it draws more attention than the duck itself! I try not to let frames bother me but this is just too much, again sorry, not meaning to offend.

The shot itself is also below average, it seems out of focus, you either blow out some highlights on the feathers or come very close too it and the composition is dead centered and there is nothing interesting going on in this shot at all. On the plus side the shot is definately on topic.

Lol! The title really fits this shot, he (she?) looks very concentrated on something, presumably leading the orchestra. Nice capture.

Very nice, by far the best swan shot in the challenge, love the DOF.

Lol! Reminds me of some creature out of sesame street or some similar shot, I know it´s a bird but I cant help but think this looks like a guy in a bird costume. Gave it an 8, love this shot.

Pretty cool moment you caught here, I like the symmetry but still not a jaw dropping shot, I don´t know what it is but there is something missing... Anyway, still gave it a 7, congrats are in order on the perfect timing on this shot.

Nice, I am a sucker for these motion blur shots and this one is rather good. The leaves in the lower right part of the shot are a bit distracting though but still very nice overall shot.

Very nice, one of the few b/w shots in the challenge and it makes it stand out more wich is good and frankly I don´t think I would have liked this as much if it had been in colour. Love the tones and the clarity. Only to nitpick, you cut off one seagulls head to the left and it sticks out like a sore thumb to me but still I like this image a lot. Great job!
