I used to be pretty

nice detail. I like the way you kept the bird in focus, and the background blurred. The only neg is that inside of the lower beak - it seems a bit blown out. 8

the sky looks to have had too much blue added. There is too soft focus on the city lights. Good depth

Nearing Dark

the sun needs to be toned down a bit for the right effect (IIMHO) - it is just too bright. The phot is too small also - would like to see it bigger. If you use PS, there is an excellent tutorial on DPC for this.

too much frame. Dull contrast

A Storm Cometh

Beautiful!! Excellent depth of field. The contrast is great too. I like the way the light shines on the leaves of the tree. Only one negative - that white 'whatever' thingy in the middle off in the distance is distracting. Still I give this a 10

good lighting, contrast, and creativity. Sad story.

Playtime...

Comment:
the face, chest, and right hand are too bright. The area above the left knee is distracting - would have been better if the black background had covered this area also. You may try following the tutorial for resizing your DPC submissions too - just too small of an image here. Your idea of playtime in the darkness was a good one, just not executed very well.
