Very dramatic and a bit surreal. I like it.

I like the almost mono chromatic look of this image, and the birds are nicely placed in the frame, Perhaps a little off the sky may stregthen this image, cropping 1/2 way in from the right fenge post would tighten the composition 9

May have been a good photo but IMO it spend a little to much time in PS

I dont like the colors. It looks like a forest fire.

Love the silhouette and composition but intensely dislike the red colours. I don't know if it's infrared or just toning or what but... doesn't work for me. 6

I find the odd color cast and the sharpening artifacts rather distracting. Rendering this in b&w would have preserved the textures and detail without making me wonder whether there's such a thing as a salmon bird.

I like that you chose to tint this but I think it's just too bright orange. Nice shot though

This stands out from the crowd for good reason, great take on the challenge and good to see a different kind of challenge entry photograph.

The coloring used tends to take away from the main subjects. I think a darker color would have worked nicely.

I love the color, it makes the image stand apart from the rest. Good luck !

This is a GREAT shot!! Reminds me somewhat of Hickcock's "The Birds." I love the effect the fog has on the whole scene. Good choice of color. Really captures a feeling of being out in the morning fog.

Overprocessed, looks very harsh. Good composition though, good motif.

I like the color of this shot. There are parts (the tree line in particular) that look a little bit overprocessed. But the color definitely gives a nice feel to this shot. Good composition as well.

Not real fond of the colors.

This is interesting. I like it. Not the typical bird shot.

I think this would have been much better without all the post processing done. The fog looks fake and the color not real at all. sorry.

is this the "slightly soaked in blood" vintage photo?

I personally don't care for the red coloring of this shot.
