Congrats on your placement, even more congrats on Don's vision to award the posthumous blue, and I hate to agree with the majority ... but the title probably held you back.
Beautiful! |

| Almost afraid to vote on it, and possibly spoil your prediction. :) I enjoy looking at this, has a certain poetry to it. The freer form of the bird winging away from the harsh and rigid background - this is very nice. 9 |

A really nice arty, almost impressionist picture. Wonderful background textures and gentle blur in the wings to show movement. Great picture.
But why, oh, why that title ? |

| So how is your prediction turning out? This is a very artsy photo, the wall and window act as a frame and the bird is flying out of it, freedom as it were. |

| ok - votes 202, views 283, Avg Vote 5.02, comments 30 - without your title that may have been the bulk of the comments, but now you've spiced it up ---- my take is you've made a good and unusual image but yes I would like to see a little more detail discernible especially around the head and the angle is a little 'funky', but minor. The grain works well. = 5 |

| Normally, I would think the bird should be sharp, but the slight blur adds to the ethereal effect. Is it real or is it a ghost? |

Fortunately, your picture is much better than your title. :)
I actually like the shot -- I like the contrasts of the shapes. |

Nice shot. Interesting composition and perspective. Terrible title and it just kills it for me.
ETA: I apologize for the typo. Corrected now. Not sure how I stumbled back across the comment, but as soon as I saw it I corrected it. Again, I apologize.

| Looks like all the focus went onthe window and none on the bird. Sometimes we have to prefocus the anticipated movement. I would rather have seen the bird more sharply and the window soft. |

| It is a good thing I established my vote before I read your title :) Actually I really like this composition, it works perfect centered and simple. I love the wonderful cracks and textures in the wall and the angle of the pigeon. I'll give you a 9, but sure don't like that title. |

I could have lived without the title. As a voter I don't like to be told how I'm going to be seeing the photo and voting on it.
That aside - this has a real wow factor. It's beautifully captured and composed. I also like the processing a lot. I'll give it the vote that was my first impulse before I read the stupid title. 8 |

| There are more pigeon pics than I expected in this challenge. This one is in the Top Three of the ones I've seen so far. (This is also one of your nine comments, but I'll bring your average score up...9 ;-) |

| i know what you mean, but if you love what you enter, the dorks don't bother you as much. this shot and your processing/comp are pretty love-worthy so congratulate yourself on an admirable perversity and enjoy your varied histogram when it's over. but please don't cheat your next masterpiece out of a more inspired title. |

| Good shot, dopey title. The bird doesn't have to be pin sharp for this shot, and the important part - the head - is in focus. The movement in the wings just adds to the shot by implying movement and flights. The crop/framing is also lovely with the internal symmetry of that window ledge. Great textures on the wall too. Don't be so hard on yourself :) |

| you asked for it, you'll get it. The fact that the wall IS tack sharp and very bright shows, that you could have easily managed to get the dove sharp, too, by choosing a shorter exposure. besides that, I find the crop too loose and the composition too centered. |

| Well, aside from the obnoxious title, I like this a lot. I think I would've liked it even more with the bird and opening in one corner and a big white wall filling the frame. But still, getting an 8 from me. |
