The contrast of colors in this shot are great. Perhpas a tighter crop to put the bird more in focus as the subject. Still a nice composition.

The red bird just is n't distinct enough for me, I'm afraid.

Very good photo, but I don't think it meets the challenge

This is a nice scene and the red is brought out nicely. Unfortunately, you are a little too far from the cardinal to make him the star. A 5.

Without looking at the title I was unable to make out what the subject was although I know the subject is surrealism but the problem is that your image is too much out of focus leaving a focal point to chance. I see the surreal side though.

Nice shot. However it doesn't seem surreal. At least to me.

The contrasting colors are good, but not an especially surreal scene. If you hung strange objects in the tree, that would be more surreal. As is, all the branches form a "messy" image, which rarely scores well.

I don't see how this met the challenge. The bird is to out of focus.

nice photo but it's not very surreal.

Surrealism: express the workings of the subconscious and is characterized by fantastic imagery and incongruous juxtaposition of subject matter -- dictionary.com

Composition is very nice, but the background is very drab and ugly.
