This is an absolutely stunning nature image. DOF is great, even with the rear bird slightly out of focus. Lighting is fine. Focus and technical quality are top notch.
Two very minor considerations and these are probably just me: Add a touch more contrast and crop a bit off the left to take them ever so slightly further off the center of the image and convey the sense of flying toward the right.
This image transcends the challenge and will stand out as a great nature image after the "opposites" challenge is long forgotten. |

| This is a stunning nature shot. The composition is excellent. The colours are very vibrant ans I like the shallow DOF. Unfortunately this image does not meet the challenge topic in any way, other than your title. Too bad. |

| This is an excellent photograph in of itself. However, the theme of opposties is not clearly defined in the picture space (it is present, just not entirely clear.), and it would not be apparant without the aide of your title "Black & White." |

| Great stop-motion photo, I really like the colors and the two birds flying side by side. Good job! |

I like much: The sharpness in a not easy to do shot. The beauty of the birds. The composition. The colors contrast (red - white - green)
I like less: The title. Black and white does'nt appear as the proheminent aspect of the picture.
Score: 9 |

| My complimenst on a brilliant capture, stop motion, in sharp focus, blurred background, appealing composition and black and white! Perfection would have had one pair of wings on the upbeat but fate has to be really kind for that! |

| Superb capture, absolutely razor sharp and perfectly composed...great work. As a singular image depicting "Opposites" as it's main theme however........dont think it works. sorry. |
|

| This is an awesome capture. The perfect wing placement for both birds is amazing. I like how they really pop out at you from the background due to color and dof. |

| This is a real neat photo. I gave it a seven. It does not, however, really meet the spirit of the challenge. Sure, there's black and white in the picture and they are opposites. But admit it -- this is a great shot of two birds in flight and without a title to remind us, I don't think most folks would see it as a study of Opposites. That said, it's a lovely photo and, as I said, I gave it a 7. |

| Wow! This is a GREAT shot. I love the nice sharpness and clarity of the birds vs. the blurred background. Exposure and saturation are dead on! Definately a 10.. :) |

| great shot.. even better if the far bird was as focused as the near bird.. but still a great shot... however without the title I don't think most would see that the challenge is met... and thats something I deduct points for (7) |

| Love the photo, but I don't feel it fits the challenge accurately. The black and the white aren't the focal points -- in fact, the two birds are very NOT opposite. Still, gorgeous shot! |

| Yet another gorgeous photo, great DOF and sharpness with 2 flying birds, looks like taken with mark II speed : ) 10 |

| Great capture of strange birds. This is a very good image but pretty hard to squieze into the challenge. |

Very impressive. 9 |

| Great shot, just amazing well balanced colors, fabulous forms, a bit soft on the focus on the trailing bird, but dispite the title, these birds speak more of harmony than opposition. If you don't end up between a 7 or 8 it will only be because this can't be shohorned into the challenge, at least not up where it would otherwise belong near the ribbons. |

| Superb work. Clarity is so nice! the rear bird isn't quite in focus, but I'll forgive that. Lovely tones, too. 9 |
