Nice use of negative space. I see a couple of strange streaks in the image and I'm not sure what it is. They look like spots where maybe you used the smudge tool or healing brush? I know they are in the image and not on my screen because they scroll with the image. Very nice capture. Good luck with the challenge!!!

I like the composition of this image but feel that it is a bit over sharpened for my taste. I think it just makes it feel to pixilated especially in the waves in the background. Nice contrast of the bird against the water. If I'm totally wrong about the artificial sharpening, I apologize but that's what I'm perceiving. Still a great photo and an impressive capture. Good luck with the challenge.

Great colors in the photo and great contrast against the background. The bokeh is nice in the way that it allows the subjects head to stand out and be noticed that much more. Interesting composition but I like it. Nice and sharp but doesn't feel over sharpened. Nice capture! Good luck with the challenge!!!

Very nice clear photograph. I like the colors, tones and composition used. I'm glad you didn't do the ultra close up that is so popular today and decided to show the entire subject. Looks nice and sharp but not over sharpened. Good luck with the challenge.

All I can say is, WOW!!! This is a beautiful image. What a beautiful animal! Beautiful eyes for sure. Almost looks fake. Isn't mounted in some mountain store somewhere is it? LOL!!! Good luck with the challenge!!!

Beautiful!!! Very nice color. Background is interesting and the bokeh is nice. I like how you kept the rule of thirds in mind when composing this image. I'm so glad he isn't smack dab in the middle of the pic. Good luck with the challenge!!!

Very nice capture. The exposure is great and the clarity and sharpness I think are right on. I'm glad you didn't over sharpen the photo. Interesting subjects and composition. I like the little bit of bokeh and that the background can still be made out somewhat. It is an interesting background that I think adds to the composition of the photograph. Very nice color and tones in this photo. Good luck with the challenge!!!

I like the idea here and the swan in the background is very beautiful but the huge white line (snow?) going across the bottom of the photo is super distracting to me and draws my eyes there. Perhaps a different crop removing that line would have worked better? Just a thought... Good luck with the challenge!!!
