7 - Like this. All very good shots. Criticism; the only real 'criticism' I have had on this triptych (and I've looked at it a few times now) is there seems to be a lack of 'balance', or flow between the three, or their arrangement. Whether it is the colorings, or the 'compositions', I can't decide, but I keep thinking the 'level' (angle?) on 1 & 2 is fairly uniform, the 3rd doesn't 'suit', maybe if it were in the middle, not sure. There are similar colorings in each shot, but obviously blues/whites dominate in 1/2, but then 3 is different and not just because 3 is not 'birds'. Sorry, hard to put into words, but I tried.

Great, crisp shots. Looks like a brochure!

There is a blue cast to the pictures. I like the composition of each though. I think the deer in the middle would have been nice to provide balance to the birds.

Awesome photo. . . and MY kind of photo. I love wildlife photos, and these are such great captures. That is a gorgeus owl! Good luck.

Each picture is great in its own right...i like them a lot. And they also compliment each other wonderfully.

this is only the second picture I've voted on, but it's my favorite so far :-)
Seriously though, three great images that work well together and fit the challenge.
Should do fairly well.

First off, the immages are quite sharp and each have their own qualities. As a triptych I think the first one (left) lets the composition down as it does not flow into the second and third. Both the second and third have some nice green tones in common which allow them to flow together.

I love that little fella in the middle, three beautifull images you have here , they make a lovely set.

Good captures, although the highlights are blown in a couple of places. Still, with wildlife it's not easy at all to get a perfect shot since you have so little time for bracketing. 7.

Great close ups of these animals. I would maybe have put the birds with the blue sky background in the middle to balance out the colors a little bit. Also they have a nice symmetry.
