Great job! A very clear shot, with beautiful reflection and sun cast. However, a water shot, or even a shoreline shot, does not always mean 'beach' in my opinion. And meeting the challenge, to me, is the first and most important thing, if that isn't done, then anything else is unimportant. Doesn't mean it's not a beautiful and creative shot, because in this case, it absolutely is! I do love it! I went back and forth on how to score your pic, but I do vote low for those that I don't think meet the challenge, so to be consistant, I am voting this lower than I want for the reasons stated above.

clean and sharp. would have preferred to see the head in the reflection

Darn, I suppose you didn't crop it like that. I can imagine the reflection anyhow. good job.

I love the picture but I don't see any beach. The composition is so simple and the lighting is very good.

Nice sharp capture. I think it may have been better to show the complete reflection in the water instead of a headless bird.

I would have liked to see the mirror in the water, and the eyes look a bit soft, hard to tell since they are so tiny

I like the DOF and the reflection

Could you have opened the frame up to include that whole reflection?

07/20/2006 12:18:27 PM
I really like this....maybe include all of the bird reflection :)

It would have been neat to see the rest of his head in the reflection. Great title for this one.

Why crop his reflection?

It's a shame you've cout out the reflection's head.
