Which lens were you using? It appears taken through a fisheye.

Great Egret

Reading the comments before mine and noting this photo came in as 46th place, I think it is sad that some seem to judge based on the subject matter and not on composition or artistic value. Then I note that 8 people give you a score of less than 4 and I can't help but scream. I think that is one reason I stopped contributing.

Don't be discouraged. You are an excellent photographer.

I am very interested in hearing how you got the "coming out of the ptr" look.

It's all a bunch of garbage anyway

You were partially successful in combining several articles to convey your main thought. (The one of what appears to be a fruit salad didn't fit with your theme.) However, your photograph didn't add any artistic value to your statement. The magazines' layouts and pictures carried to whole weight of the presentation. Using alternate (spot) lighting, angles, framing and other features may have added *your* talent and ability to this picture.

Beauty Shot

Comment:
Overall rating: 7
Challenge Met, 8.
Color (casts, bleeds), 5: color cast in shadow.
Exposure, Lighting (Shadows), 9: IMO the gradient shadow/Negative Space detracts.
Focus: 10
Framing, Subject Placement, Background, 5: IMO a centered object would have worked better.
Visual Appeal, 5
Would I frame or poster-board this picture?, 4: I agree that the "challenge subject" didn't lend itself to this category.
