I like this picture i just think that it's a little to musky and it also seems a little blurred from the effect you were trying to make

The strong sepia screams "antique", but that scream is in conflict with the modern plastic pen. Otherwise, it works well, but that conflict of subject and treatment jumped out at me.

Comment by photokariangel:
This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: the vase/bowl is positioned nicely in the frame

color: love the soft colors, very calm and natural. i dont, however, like the black in the background, i prefer the white as in your other shot.

contrast: nicely controlled, nothing overpowers.

focus: those little bubbles are in great focus, along with the rock (or whatever the yellow thing is).

depth of field: again, the black is very distracting. the white would have been much more subtle.

lighting: gorgeous lighting, its enchanting.

other: I think your lower scores from this were from the background, the confusing subject matter, and the lack of complete focus on the sand. However, upon a little more time looking this image over, I have grown to really enjoy it. Its almost like peeking into another world. I continue to enjoy looking and evaluating your images, keep up the good work! As always, if you have any other questions feel free to PM me.

i like the sweep of the wings - but the composition with the bird heading off image makes it seem like it is going to run into a wall

Nice capture and wing position.

Traditionally on a BIF (Bird in Flight) shot you would try to position the bird on the other side of the frame so he has some room to fly into, and like any portrait it is good to have them approaching rather than leaving so the viewer can have some eye contact.

I understand what your trying to do with the focus, but for me, it seems to be soft all over. The subject you chose was certainly original.
