Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that partially meets the challenge.

This is a gorgeous nature study that leaves you feeling sorry for the poor bird looking wet and bedraggled in the pouring rain. So, as for surreal and dreamy I donĂ¢€™t think it really works that well, there is however, a hint of dreaminess in that his eye is partially closed which goes a little way towards fulfilling the challenge brief. What I think destroys any dreaminess is the inclusion of the barbed wire, I would have excluded it completely and just left the post I think this may have improved it but it still would struggle to fully meet the challenge.

Thank you for a lovely entry Ronnie.

Poor thing. Not sure how this is either surreal or dreamy, but it's a nice wildlife shot.
