i love the vertical crop on this. has a scroll-like feel. the thick border is a bit much though. it fights with all the predominately black shapes in the image. perhaps if you took out the white border.
I like the length of the image, different from many. The darker lighting helps make the photo moodier and the perspective is good. I like the composition, but being that its supposed to be all alone, the addition of the second bird throws that off for me. I understand the sentiment behind the image, I just dont think it works for the essence of this particular challenge. That said, the first view of the photo is of a bird alone, so you do get that impact in the beginning. Focus is good on the top bird. Interesting portrayal, falls short on the challenge for me, but has a very nice unique factor. 6
Not exactly what the challenge asked for, but I like the panorama format and the composition. The border is too wide in comparison with the image; a thinner one would be less distracting.
I really like this one except for the out of focus branch in the foreground. After the challenge I would try to clone it out and maybe clone out the lower antenna and then you would have a simple elegant shot that totally matches the title.

I like this image. I just wish you could have edited out the background tree it's distracting (but that's obviously not in the rules) and I find the border really competes with the pole. i would have skipped it entirely. Other then those 2 aspects, great colour, meets the challenge, and the crop you've selected is perfect.
good idea and execution. I know that its easy to play monday morning quarterback...but my only suggestion would be to do another angle to get the branch out of frame. But having said that, I won't factor that into my scoring, because this was obviously a spur of the moment thing and complete creativity wins out over staged "studio" shots every time in my books. The vertical framing job is excellent as well. Nice work.
