The photo has too much jpeg compression. Artifacts evident around smaller tree branches.

Its nice but seems with big zoom... also would think of turning it to sepia but pink toning is still nice.

I like the colors and the stark erector set feel of the branches. If you had included a strong white point, this would have "felt" better to me. But in fact, I'm not sure where you would have gotten it.

Now this is nice - being in the right spot at the right time to catch these wild birds (are they waxwings?)

Fitting for this challenge! Not the most exciting photo, but it works. I like the background color. not typical and that makes it interesting. focus and clarity seem ok, and although I wish there were a bit more light on the birdies themselves, I don't think that would be possible without hurting some other aspect of the photo. Overall nice. ~Heather~

Nice use of lines and space.

nice lines, i like the way the branches lead from one bird to the next.

Good shot, I think you should use the curves featue in PS to bring out the original color, other than that ok
