| This is an excellent and original take on the Challenge. Sorry you didn't score higher with the voters. However, you have the satisfaction of knowing you pulled off a difficult shot very well. And birds are darned hard to get in good detail. |

| I personally don't care for the boarder and think it detracts. |

| I find the transition from bird to background to be a little too sharp, and makes it look almost artificial. The difference in the focus (feathers vs. background) is enough to make it pop out for me. I like the technique of the subject breaking into the frame, but I'm not completely sure I actually like that and the tilting here. But given that's the look you wanted, it's well-done! |

| Interesting trick. But I think even using this technique, he's still a little close to the edges of the frame. I don't think I like the angle of this photo either. Doesn't make it right or wrong really, just personal preference. |

Your choice of border here totally ruins this shot for me!

| Inspired idea to have your main subject coming out of the picture like this. The effect is particularly good for this challenge. |

| If the photo had something with a soft focus in the foreground to indicate a 'Shallow Depth of Field' I would have given it another point. The bird lools like it has been added on to the photo ... no offense meant ! |

| weird. top half looks like a deformed bunny. also, i thought the white border is a little distracting and a bit unnecessary - i would have probably given the original uncropped image a higher rating. 7. |

What a different way to present an image At first I thought what a wide border and as it unfolded on my screen, I was and am very impressed. very nice image very detailed and I hope you dont get hammered for artwork on your border
Very impressed with this! |

| The kookaburra is great, but the slant and the wide frame give the overall picture a gimmicky appearance. IMHO the fact that editing programs let you create bizarre effects is not a mandate to use them to excess. |

| WHOA. I almost brushed that animal off my screen! For a second, I forgot it was a pic! Nice edit - very creative. 8 |

There is some excellent DOF in this shot, but I reckon most people will score low because of your gimmicky cut out. They'll presume it was superimposed or something. I'd like to have at least seen his feet on the bark to givve it context.
I'm going to give it a 7 because, assuming I'm right that this shot is untampered, it's a great capture. |

| A nice 3D effect, but I think the effect s overdone. Perhaps the beak sticking out would have worked, but the feet don't, as they are dangling in space. It's actually hard to see the connection between the foreground bird and the tree, so he doesn't appear to be part of the picture. |

| I've looked at this shot several times and am torn on the score. DOF is its strength but both the head and feet "pop-out" and the extra wide border detract. I think your unique approach and inovative angle are refreshing to see. |

| I don't much care for the way the bird sticks out onto the border. Seemingly good use of DoF. |

| Nice DOF shot of the bird. The frame and tilt of the picture don't really work for me. Makes it look gimmicky. |
