Thanks!

I already knew that it wouldn't do well cuz its "different". The score doesn't matter, I was given a challenge and ended up taking a photo that I liked.

I could have easily gotten a close-up of any type of bird, but I went with something minimalistic. I'm glad to know that some people appreciated it.

Well there is a bird so you got points for that. Biggest problem is the reflection off the water is so overbearing you have to force yourself to look for the bird.

I like the neg space with the water, I wish there was a tad more detail on the bird

Interesting take on the photo. With the dark contrast, he is almost invisible. I do like it though.

Words escape me, but I love this one. Not sure if this is a partial desaturation: if so, it's a very, very effective one. Great work.
