good shot - did you notice how the woman's body position makes the A in the word happy?

This is one of my top choices. You did an excellent IR job here. I hope you place well in the challenge.

This place looks kind of creepy but also like a place I've been in my dreams. Wouldn't be surprised if some day I do have a dream where I'm in a place like this.

Nice composition, though I wish the left bench didn't disappear into the bridge. The garden part is elsewhere though.

Nice subject. DMC. (Does Meet Challenge) in shoehorn sort of way :) Nice PP, interesting perspective.

This is great because it almost doesn't look like infrared.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I gave this image a 6 in voting, because I liked the use of fisheye and imagination, and never thought you may have been responsible for the bird's demise. Images of death don't tend to go over well, even if it's fairly clean - ie no blood or gore. Which is a pity, because death is all part of the circle of life, but too many people see death as a negative and will simply give a poor vote based more on sentiment than the shot itself.

The lighting looks a little harsh, I believe the high ISO of 400 shot around what appears to be midday, when shadows are at their strongest, added to this impression. The composition is OK, the cobblestones are great for texture and contrast against the feathers, but try a) removing the border and b) cropping out the top so that only the wheel of the silver car appears. Pigeon also just past the intersection of thirds so looks very tightly cropped.

Overall, a very good try and clearly you had fun playing with the fisheye. Used carefully, lenses like that are a lot of fun, but never rely on just the lens alone to make a shot a good shot. That is still your job!

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

Everything in this photo is just perfect, the futuristic look, the vanishing point of the bridge, the blurry clouds, and the feeling of calmness looking at the park benches and grass, but in the end it's not my kind of photo when I imagine something that should be in the garden, 7
