Very nice. This is too busy for anything but a branch themed shot. The title brings it together. A little less shadow on the bird would have been nice with a little more brightness to that redbreast.

I'm sure everyone will say the same thing about the crop here. The focus on reflection shots is tricky. I got some fun ones myself when my mother picked some inky cap mushrooms and didn't use them before they melted to ink.

Your focus in the reflection is good enough to make out detail in the trunk of the tree and in the wood of the birdhouse... A bit too much is left of the background in the top left corner and because of the odd focal length used, it is in focus and is distracting.

Nice concept though.

Wow! I can't think of anything to say. That's usually good :) I really like the way this picture is bright. So many others would have tried to put a dark cast on it and it may have been a great picture too, but it wouldn't have been the same. This is a picture about brightness, lightness, creative workmanship and interesting design.

A bit too much is sliced off the right side. I would have cropped down another millimeter to get the top horizontal slat off on the top right.

Fine work. Good eye. Glad you were quick to shutter, but slow to broom.

Wicked Tim Burton cue. Fine lighting, the teensiest bit too bright on the hand on the left which is almost totally immatterial. Superb use of shadow and maybe makeup on the eyes.

Technically near perfect. Creatively outstanding.

Hmm. If I remember correctly, the presence of acacia (?) often indicates the presence of fire ants... Been a while since I've been to a beach like that though.

This pic is excellent. The only things I would like to see better would perhaps be the inclusion of more on the left and the focusing on the tip of a thorn instead of where the twig is broken.

Sweet colour though.

Visual cue to branch - Check.

Sharp lines and good dynamic range with high contrast causing a dynamic image - Check.

Nicely done. I think I would have liked a tiny bit more of the left-most track I wonder if a dark border might have created a bit of illusion to help this?

Great light. Soft pic though... Weird branch sticking up at the bottom. The crop isn't too bad, Don't take it personally, but I find it a bit uninteresting and unstimulating.
