Back to comment: What's not to love about the hair style? I find it difficult to make a connection with the subject with his eyes facing up and out of the image. It also appears as if the back (his left) eye is in better focus than the front eye. This might be an illusion related to the stronger white tone of the back eye from the side light. I bet mom still loves it.

Back to comment: Very creative and a fun image to look at. The white balance could use a little correction for my tastes, as all of the whites have a pink tint.

Back to comment & bump: Wonderful details captured in the bird. However, a tighter crop would have featured the main subject better. As is, the background is competing for my attention. 7

Back to comment: I really love the lighting for this image and how the details in the petals come through. However, the symmetry of this flower really would have benefited from a square crop. Nice job. Bump to a 7
