this is a wonderful image the bear is showing a nice behavior and all the distractions of the scene have been minimized.

I know what it is but the image doesn't work for me Perhaps a closeup of the leaves would have been better.

I felt like the motion blur was not bold enough to be intentional so I only gave this image a 4. I would have gone higher if the image had been sharper or and more panning blur. I did think this image was more abstract than many other entries. Just my two cents.

I really like your subjects but the lighting is too low. I also would have liked to see the background smooth and out of focus.

I say five for creativity but the image isn't very flattering.

I didn't vote this challenge but I would have given your crop outtake a higher score than your posted image, I like the natural skin tones better then the blue skin of the submitted image. Supper image and idea. In fact I am even leaning more toward the full image with all the flowing hair over the crop. Probably would have been a 7 or 8 for me.

too much noise reduction and a sharpening halo around the balloon. Perhaps a lighter touch would be better.
