Hi Julianne,
I like the effect with the red birds and I thought overall it was an interesting entry. However, the fuzziness (seems not quite in focus) was a major distractant for me. I also had trouble identifying a focal point - which isn't always essential - but in this particular shot seemed somehow lacking. Do you have any outtakes? Would be interesting to see.
Best,
Noraneko

Well, I gave this a 5, which to me means "met the challenge, but didn't grab me." Why? Not much I can really put my finger on. Which pretty much means it just didn't strike my fancy, which means you can safely ignore my opinion. :)

As always: did YOU like it?

You know, I can understand why this shot didn't do so well in "Sky" but this is a GREAT shot. If you would have put this in Free Study, I'll bet your score would have been a lot higher. The fact that the red birds stand out so well really make this a super image. Excellent job.

Bah. I gave this image a 7, I liked the composition. I think the sky purists hit you on it. shame.

Don't like the effect at all.

Not fond of this shot. Sky should be the subject.

Over all I like this but it's just a bit too blurred for my taste.

A little dark at the top which distracts from the rest of the picture.
