Fits the challenge well, I love the sadness of the piece. Even the poor bird looks unhappy. Colors and lighting are good, very emotive image. Nice focus. The one thing that distracts for me is the border though. It being so bright of a contrast to the image draws my eyes away. Great shot. 8

The background is very stylized. I'd like to see what it really looked like.

Posture of the bird helps capture the theme...

I am giving you a 7 because I like the desolation and abandoned feeling of this. Really a good capture with lots of visual interest.
If I were voting on quality, I would not rate this high. I don't like whatever happened to the background, it's not blurred like a lens would do. I suspect neat image. The area to the right is also like that.

This is a neat shot. Try cropping it so the bird is off-center and see if that doesn't work even better...to add a little more interest. Also, I don't care for the border much but I never adjust my scores based on that.

Too many artifacts and too much badly done PS work for my taste. A photo that doesn't have the power it might have.

Nice capture of black bird sitting on the post, to make more impact I'd try to stay away from center composition.

Great shot...the old broken down fence really adds to this shot. Nice work! 9
