For The Birds

While the overall image is fine, I think a closer crop on the birdhouse window would have brought more impact to the composition, as it feels a little lost on the very edge of the scene here.

I’ll be honest that I didn’t spot the incense smoke here until the 2nd time I viewed it, as it’s lost against the bright background. The soft light/glow effect works nicely here, but I can’t help wondering if this would have been better shot at night to bring the emphasis on the objects & smoke rather than the background?

Love the composition here! That leading line effect with the high contrast and excellent exposure really makes this image have impact.

The plant is too dark to the point where it’s hard to discern any details of it, and the background outside the window is very busy and distracting. I would have moved the plant in front of one of the panes and then cropped in much closer along with balancing the exposure more on the plant, since that should be the focus here.

Too grainy and oversaturated for my liking.

Where’s the windowsill? Unfortunately this doesn’t meet the challenge for me.

While this technically meets the challenge criteria, it isn’t in of itself an interesting image to look at.

Love the composition and lighting on this, but I wish you’d desaturated everything except the red of the vase as that would have made it stand out more.

Nice angle, but perhaps needs a bit more contrast to make the textures pop?

While the objects on the windowsill are interesting in themselves, the harsh (flash?) lighting and snapshot-like feel are what’s pulling this image down.
