This is just stunning, it's one of those shots that I see and fail to understand how it scored below 6 never mind below 5!
Glancing through the other comments I agree that it's almost in the style of an impressionist painting, but still retaining all its photographic detail. I like the pinks and orange that you have here, if you hadn't told me otherwise I would have believed the scene was actually those colours originally!
It certainly is one of those that belongs on a wall, if it was mine that's exactly what I would do with it!

I remember seeing this during the challenge and thinking to myself "wow.. that's not going to do well." I almost instantly appreciated the beauty of the photo though. It is very Impressionistic.
You're photo quite clearly belongs on a wall. It is very much a painting. Unfortunately, the voters on DPC don't usually appreciate photos that aren't perfectly crisp with a clear subject and colors they expect to see.
In your own words you were "trying something different." In looking at other photos in your profile, I can tell you that you don't need my advice on how to take a photo. I think this photo was just an experiment that isn't appreciated by the masses in this venue. If it were a painting on a wall in a museum the opinions would be vastly different. Keep experimenting. You're a great photographer! |

| Wow, that is beautiful! An intense burst of colour that hits you and makes you jump as soon as you look at it... The title is most appropriate, to me this is like visual poetry. And who cares about the score, I'd be happy to see this on my wall any day. |

The dark version was my original vision about this photo. This is what I saw one I shot it.
I asked my brother to stop car and jumped out of it and took three pics. It was so surreal, these white birds flocking this tree while the day was dying, right there in front of me.
For the pastles version, I guess time to time painter in me comes out and I try to have party with colors. This is one good thing about being hobby photographer. |

I do value your comment a lot. |

| I like your dark version better, to be honest. This one has it's charms - the nice pastel colors for one - but I find myself wishing there were more contrast and detail to be seen in the very center of the shot, all the crowded together branches and shrub. |

| I do prefer the dark version for a print, though the pastels would be great for a painting. I tend to also make my pictures into a "painting", I think because I wish I could paint. Nice work and hooray for those of us who love our pictures no matter what the score. |

| Brave, fascinating, different, but in my opinion ultimately unsuccessful. The 'pastels' are fine but too pink for my liking. But with an image like this we're into properly subjective territory. Kudos for putting this shot in. |

Exactly my thinking about that version and this is why I loved that one. White birds in dark.
This one is because of colors. As posthumous said 'pastels', he was correct this was the exact approach to this one. |

you said correctly, this is type of thing only few can like or appreciate. I personally would paint it one day and hang it in drawing room. I love colors. |

| I'm not sure if this was an application of an artistic effect, or just an overexposed shot. Either way, it does not come off well to me, I'm afraid. I think improvement of this one needed to start in the camera. |

| this could be a nice pic; good composition and nice scenery. But what have you done with the colors? Sorry, but don't like these tones |
