| This is by far one of the best images in this challenge and on the site. It's hard for me to express why I like it so much. Maybe it reminds me of a Geisha with her fans veiling her face. Wonderful. 10 |

I like this as a B&W. It allows the bird to really take a stronger position in the pic and really enhances the contrast on its head very well. It also improves emotional connection.
FWIW, I am not at all bothered by the softness in this one. |

| Another type of photo that I typically wouldn't gravitate too. However, all the components come together to make a great shot! The softness of the photo, the light dark contrast, the angle of the wings, the black and white coloring...they all come together and make a spectacular photo. Very visually stimulating. 10 |

| not sharp, but doesn't have to be. composed and toned well. looking for a little more space, but the space you have is well treated in processing - the mottled background enhances the idea of movement conveyed in the bird. 8 |
