The Prey's Perspecitve

Ow, awesome! It's razor sharp, composition with only one eye showing (and right in the middle) creates real tension, and lighting is perfect. Makes me feel like a scared mouse :-)) Only thing I wonder is whether less black on the left and right sides would improve even more.

My impression is that this is a very nice image. Some detailed comments:
- the composition is good, with the glass slightly off center, and both middle fingers off center.
- the color match of the nail polish and the content of the glass create a sense of balance.
- lighting is excellent, no harsh shadows and everything properly lit.
- cropping could be better: it bothers me slightly that the top of the glass is not visible. The partly cropped index fingers creates tension, suggesting there's more outside the frame which makes it interesting to look at, but the top of the glass is not quite right for me, don't know exactly why.

Hope this helps, congrats on a nice image!

Subtle, the two light sources! I like the colors in the sky very much. Pity it's a bit tilted to the right.

The idea is nice, but there is not enough of the bird in focus to keep my attention. I do like the negative space and the colors.

Nice picture, but wasn't this meant for the centered challenge?

Nice colors, nice composition. Don't like the DOF though: the background should be either sharp or more out of focus, as it is now it draws my attention away from the bird. 6

I like this image a lot. You captured the texture of his skin extremely well, it's all sharp. Framing is good, I like the way his head and trunk fill the frame. The only thing that's bothering me a little bit is that the background almost blends in with his chin, that part of his head does not really stand out against the background. More blurring of the background might have improved that (but I realize you're already at the largest opening of this lens), or choosing a different standpoint. I'm not too fond of such a wide border as you have used here, but that's a personal thing.

Congrats on a nice image!

Nice color! I would have liked to see either more cropping at the bottom (removing the houses) or more of the base of the tower and houses. As it is now they appear floating.

Would have been nice with better lighting, it's way too dark.
