I like it, but I think it would have done better if the rocks were not blurred, it shows that the camera might have moved during the exposure. Sharpness is next to godliness here at dpc. :)

Very nice shot of a Black Capped Chickadee. :) great out of focus background. Nice sharpness. I know it can be difficult to get catchlights in those beady little eyes.

Poor little guy. it does sort of seem dreamy, in a nightmare kind of way. Cool processing....well seen.

Hey you!

Congrats on your first challenge! I know these first two are a bit of a rough start, but we can talk about it when I see you this week. :)

On this one I will say that a) folks here hate "noise/grain" and b) folks here generally hate things that are not pretty.

Personally I like the humour in the shot, but would have worked on getting rid of some of the noise in it, and made it a bit more contrasty. I will show you how to do all that this week. :)
