Spectacular! I don't know if I would have thought to try turning this colorful creature into a black and white...but you did a wonderful job with it.

Brilliant. The lines of the feathers just draw you into the photograph.

Sometimes it's much better to just sit back, relax and enjoy the image without saying anything. Superlatives are insufficient for this image - it is an incredible conversion to grayscale and from an artistic standpoint, a complete success - almost perfect. Well done.

Such a 'real kid' picture... love the lighting and tonage. Should have placed higher.

THe main subject is not in focus, a little bit blur.

An honest capture. Candid for sure, as it's obvious you're making the best use of existing lighting. No attempt was made to clean up or "pre-compose" the shot. The angle is great. Love it!

Comment by Teafran:
The sense of "moment" is present in this image and the obvious character being captured is intent on a task. Technically, it seems a little dull which may be the lighting conditions - the author might have wanted to use a little more saturation to correct for the washed out effect which is only enhanced by the rather soft focus. A good entry into the challenge.

One of the few entries where the photographer knows what a candid photograph is. 8
