the flower on the right side really distracts my eye on this...

I'm not sure where I should be looking, as there doesn't seem to be a clear focal point. The only crispness I see is the stem with the little hairs on the stem in the left hand side of the picture.
You have some nice bokeh showing up, however.

too busy, the drop is distracting and no subject flower. Just my view

Ah! If this was focused better it'd be great!

Hi roni, I see you are new here. I notice in your comments you said you "painted" the bird yellow. While there are some legal way to do this in basic editing (depending on the scene), this one strikes me as a time when a local edit was made. Notice that this is a Basic Editing challenge, so if someone had requested validation of your image and you did use a local edit, your image would have been DQed. Just a heads up!

Had trouble finding the bird; but love this type of image. Symmetrical is good.

My eyes! :)
This feels like it's either just a tiny bit off center, or a tiny bit rotated (or both), which is causing the photo to lose some of the magic.

This photo blows my mind...literally. I feel like inside a kaleidoscope! Very nice take on the challenge...definitely has a clear leading line going up the middle to the top of the tower, but the diagonals add so much depth and complexity to this picture. And the yellow bird, standing out in stark contrast, is just the icing on the cake. Wonderful 8!
