nice idea. The lead grey sky is very nice. If I could offer a suggestion, I would crop in from the right by about 1/3 of the shot - to just afgter the third fence post. There is too much OOF foreground in my opinion. A 6, as it is.

Focus is a little too soft for my taste. Nice color tones.

Nice idea. The focus is a bit too soft for my taste, however.

Humm - I'm sure you've heard this already, but this shot (while being very nice) does not really fit in a backlighting challenge. In a free study, I'd give this a 7 or 8. In this challenge - a 6 just because it's such a good shot.

great idea, but just slightly blown (on my monitor, anyway). 6 from me

Composition is nice, but slightly OOF. Colors could use a bump too, especially the brown at the top of the shot. It might be better with that brown area cropped right off, toi just below the big rock. Not sure that your focus would allow that much cropping however. 5 from me, and keep at it. You have a good eye - just need to work on the technicals (same as me...)

I like this action here. And having both birds in the shot makes it that much more interesting. My only suggestion for improvement would be to try and bring back some blue into the sky. 7 from me

This is weird, but in a good way. Must be fake teeth, too. They are just too perfect. 7 from me for Out-of-the-box thinking.
