I like the point of color.

I find this too busy, nothing to focus on.

You captured this moment as a visual explosion of flapping, flashing wings and feathers. Works like a charm in black and white and the little spot of red from the center gull's ( not sure if they are gulls) beak and feet adds just that extra little bit of contrast.

One of my favorites in this challenge. Maybe the bird with red is too centered, but I still like it.

Great use of selective saturation to focus on a single subject.

I enjoy the way you have highlighted the centre bird with the red. Well done.

Really interesting idea - and a dleightfully busy capture.

Busy - but everything with a sense of purpose and direction.

Very busy shot but I could see this one enlarged hanging on a wall, smaller image size really does not do justice to this kind of shot.

Very nicely done! I have tried shots like this before, and never achieved what I had aimed for - you have given me the inspiration to try again.

Fabulous, especially with the red beek pulling us to the bird in the centre. Interesting selective desat.

I like the look and chaotic feel of this shot. The selective desat works well.

What an amazing shot! i love that you absolutely filled the frame with action to the point that it's almost an abstract. I'm not sure how the voters will feel about the the spot of color, and to be honest I would really like to see this shot in all B&W. Still, my highest score so far, and definitely a fav! Great job!

I like the busyness of this...you can almost hear the noise...I like your selective desat, but I would have chosen another bird and used the rule of thirds for that choice, otherwise I like it 7
