I gave this one a 7. It is dark on my computer but what I see is the head in a spotlight and subtle details on the wings. I think it is perfect for this regal bird.

I really like the contrasts and colortone. The deep sepia is so fitting for the type of environmental portrait you've captured.

I liked this one. I loved the poofy textures. So Topaz must have enhanced the details in the snow? Good capture.

Comment by EL-ROI:
I don't really think using the Rule of Thirds really added anything to this photo composition wise. In fact my eye tends to dwell the out of focus area on the right rather than locking in on the lantern. Other wise you did a great job with the B&W conversion and the DoF and exposure are real good.

Comment by colorcarnival:
This is good. The drop of water is cool! I like how the one on the left looks like a claw.

ETA: lol I was like, why don't I remember seeing this in the Nature challenge? And then I could not understand why Lydia commented on this a month ago. And now I see.... :D

It looks like you put in a bit of thought for this one and it is well composed. Everything seems to be well done on this but it seems to lack something, a lasting memory I guess. It is good but I quess easily forgotten. At least you didn't use the typical Cowboy hat like I did though lol, you definitely get points for originality.

He he, those really do look like marshmallows Carole :-) Very nice work, and I'm surprised this one didn't score higher.

Great hat and nice work tying in all the elements - it might just come over more as a Russian theme than specifically the headware though . .
