Stunning composition. The clouds were certainly cooperating with you on this one.

Fantastic shot. Nice warm shades of black, and I love the reflections on the side of the cup.

Nice idea, arm seems a bit too drastically cut off though. Would like to see the face more centered and the elbow in the frame.

Garden Fowl

Thanks for the comments. I would have loved to include more of the wheel and the box, but there were several plants just out of this shot that were obstructing my view of them. As it wasn't my garden, I wasn't exactly in a position to move the ornament or replant anything, lol.

I kept the picture intentionally dark, as my first impression of the ornament was a fanciful notion of it coming to life at twilight and doing garden work on the sly. I agree that the beak needed to stand out more, but I couldn't arrive at an edit I liked that brought out the beak while staying true to the other colours and elements.
