Do you like my hair do?

Focus is a little soft at the tip of the beak which i find a little distracting. I think such a shallow DOF adds to the overall softness of the bird, but I'd like to see at least the "face" (including beak) in sharp focus.

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
by GinaRothfels

Comment:
. . . With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens . . .
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple. - Elizabeth Lucas

One of my favorite poems! This image brought a smile to my face after reading the title. Based on your photo technicality-wise, I think the foreground is a little too busy with too many rocks. The background also appears distracting and out of place. Perhaps it could've been softened with Gaussian blur or a tighter shot/crop of just the woman.

I find the color appealing and little else. Composition and scenery leaves much to be desired.

I love this image! The dark silhouettes, the lighting of the clouds, and the gorgeous reflection grab my attention. Also love what you've done with the border although I wish it were a tad narrower, maybe 50% of what it is now. Currently for some reason, it gives me tunnel-vision and claustrophobia.

Very nice and strong composition. Would've done wonderful in the "Silence" challenge as well, IMO. Have you tried experimenting in rotating the image slightly so the bleachers are perfectly horizontal?

After a while, all those horizontal lines start to play tricks on my eyes!

Beautiful ride. I'm wondering where you'd park that would have a wooden floor though..?

Great shot! I'm particularly partial to this one because a few of my friends are in the market for tripods and were raving about the quality of gitzos :)
