lovely tones, nice image, just a bit too central for the main subject
 12/10/2005 02:42:12 AM
Some compression artifacts on the birds...either from the JPG conversion or too much sharpening/contrast enhancement.
 12/10/2005 12:41:34 AM
Very dramatic!

I find that before plan is too important for the subject and then there is this spot sunk on the right.
 12/09/2005 01:00:41 AM
this is very well done
 12/08/2005 03:32:16 PM
I really like this photo... I like the distance to the birds, the reflections... and the wonderful colors... doesn't quite do it for me as far as representing the challenge though
