Sorry, but I don't feel that the graininess lends to the value of the image. Good composition though

The creamy colors and flowing lines are strong components of this image. Quite sincerely, I hope this does well as it deserves, in my opinion, front page placement.

Way to HDRish for my taste.

I'm enjoying being part of the DPL "First 10" Challenge. Yours is photo #2 in my random voting stream.

The placement of feather in the top third of the frame works nicely to give room for the full reflection and the amount of negative space white is right on. I'm distracted by the turquoise and blue color fringing and wish the whole thing was a bit sharper and not so grainy.

Composition is good. Image is over processed, especially along the edge of the V-shaped white space on right of the image. See the funky colored (blue, green) halos there? The image also has a lot of unflattering noise that isn't helping, and keep an eye out for spots and specks that can be touched up.

Such a shame about that turquoise line that has crept in somehow.

Images of this type are usually 'clean' and so sharp you could cut yourself on them. You've taken a done-to-death image and put your own slant on it; it's an interesting take. There is a blue halo on the right on both the feather and the reflection.

Such pretty tones - I love the golden brown against the more umber reflection. For me, the background could be cleaner and the focus sharper, but the square crop is very effective with the subtle diagonal.

Quite spectacular. You captured a vibrant mood.
