I guess 4.000. the light baffles.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 03:58:32 PM
the blown out detail could hurt you. I predict a 5.2
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Lovely light, regrettable merge on swan and goose behind him. I gave it a six without a problem but I think it will score lower. 5.65

Tough light - too much of it on top. Great subject however but probably a 5.7 in the end.

Swan among geese. 5.5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 11:51:33 AM
Nice lighting, but the focus is slightly in front of the white bird - i'd guess 5.6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 11:01:49 AM
I think it will end up at 5.6.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 06:41:59 AM
Great colors and pretty scene. Could be a tad sharper. 6.2.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 05:59:29 AM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 05:35:00 AM
Image that has potential. Just a tad too bright. Taken at the wrong time of day.

My guess is 5.426
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 05:29:27 AM
You might end up with 4.9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2015 04:12:43 AM
Totally agree with you 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 11:41:13 PM
For me, this image is a good one, but one notch below the best images in the challenge. I expect it to do about 5.8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 06:49:01 PM
Pleasing. 5.2
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 12:02:40 PM
I gave it a five. Guessing a 5.789
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 05:55:54 AM
Too much glow for some and any blown highlights are often punished here; I think you'll only get about 5.4.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/07/2015 12:44:16 AM
Wonderful combination of swan and geese in bright light. 5.78
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 11:53:42 PM
good light and sharpness, but no breathtaking composition
5 from me and I predict 5.4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 11:51:00 PM
Nothing is really in focus, your 6 is way too high, I'm going for a 4.955
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 03:48:04 PM
We have seen this kind of photo so many times. I like the light, but the composition could be better, 5.80
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 02:31:06 PM
Gorgeous light and sparkle. I'm wishing that there wasn't a duck right behind the swan's head. Six from me, predicting 5.775.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 01:43:41 PM
Lovely light reflections. I even see some stars in the water. The elegant swan looks so much more like he belongs in that water! 6.77
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 12:12:01 PM
I would agree - Colors, focus, and comp are nice. 6.09
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 10:22:41 AM
I would guess 5.5000

(very)Nice water reflection. Not sharp on the swan. 6.1
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 08:18:42 AM
too soft, imo, for a 6
5.698
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 05:39:07 AM
lovely nine for me otherwise 5,8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2015 03:15:43 AM
5.3 is my guess. A bit shiny for me 4.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 06:39:23 PM
Backlighting birds is tough but you have done well with this Swan, the highlight adjustment you made on the Canada goose cheeks should have been made with a softer brush and a lower number then they just light up naturally and not quite so harsh. I think this could go to a 6 in voting. Good Luck
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 06:38:22 PM
I anticipate that some of the blown out areas of the swan will bring your score down - 4.8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 04:44:15 PM
Nice but a little overexposed. I give it a 5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 04:35:34 PM
I know there's absolutely no way of controlling this scene, but I wonder how it would look if the white swan wasn't backed by the darker bird. 6.08
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 03:33:15 PM
I voted before looking at titles, now commenting.

The contrast is interesting.

My guess: 5.82
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 02:22:09 PM
5.2632 (I gave it a six)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 11:24:30 AM
I gave this a 7 more than what your guess would be. I really love the lighting that dances on the water..

DPC will prob give this a 5.1
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 09:33:45 AM
I am not sure it will score as high as 6. I estimate 5.4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/04/2015 06:00:38 AM
Nice reflections and water sparkles. I predict 5.1.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 11:27:35 AM
this serene shot is nice it could hit your guess me 5.74 odd
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 09:31:24 AM
Hello, I voted a few days ago, now returning for comments. I think that you estimated your score well, I gave you a six and I predict that you will finish at 5,8682
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 08:50:41 AM
Nice soft colors but it looks a tad out of focus.
My guess is 5.89
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 07:48:50 AM
Nicely composed and interesting, just lacks a bit of foreground sharpness. 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/03/2015 05:44:34 AM
5 The composition is haphazard, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for otherwise.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/01/2015 05:33:54 AM
5 for me as the composition is messy,but the swan is nice ish.
