Very nice, of course, you probably already know that. Critique...well umm...I don't really see anything that could be better honestly. The vase may be sitting a smidgeon tilted, but very hard to reckognize that. I think you simple just nailed it. Great colors.

This is just a fantastic, technically sound, challenge met, great job. Shows great skill, I'm going to go out on a limb, and say once this challenge is done, your one of the more skilled photographers, not just a luck shot, and it shows.

Gonna be a battle to first with this one, but I think it should win. The birds actually in flight hit the spot. Amazing that you was able to maintain balance, and have your "seven" in there. Great job, outstanding work.

My gosh this is fantastic, I would love to put this on any wall in my house. What a terrific job, but unfortunately I just don't see a real connection to the challenge, I hate to take away from all the others who really made "seven" stand out. I do get the title, just not "seven" to me. There is noway to tell you how gorgeous i think this is otherwise. Beautiful, great job.

I was checking out this challenge, and I came upon this photo. The challenge, IMO, was not that great, and the photos submitted the same, but I like this one. I like it, but I'm confused with where you was headed with the grainy approach. It would appear to me that you could of had a really fair shot at winning this thing if you just stuck to the basic principles. I've over thought many of my photos, actually I'm really bad about it, but I was wondering if you had time to let me in on where you was headed with your vision. Again I love it, I would of still given you a solid score if I would of voted. Great job.

I like the direction you took this, and as far as meeting the challenge I give you an 11. There is going to be tough competition for this challenge though, good luck.

Some of you photographers out there just make it so hard to compete. This is definately one of the top photos I've seen, and it looks to executed with a very skilled hand/eye.

Well done, while I wouldn't change this photo for the challenge. I would cut a little out of the clouds before I framed it. Nice, either way.
