| I like the BW treatment here but the bird is almost blending in the BG. I wonder how it looks in color. |

| I love the negative space in this, it's so minimal but that makes it pop that much more. |

| Very nice shot, I quite like it. Your processing and composition work really well here, IMO. A very compelling image for me. |

| Very nice, would have cropped to the bird was off centre to the right and maybe reduced the noise a little |

| Lovely bird who had the good artistic sense to perch in front of you on this photogenically long stick. And, you made the most of it. Among best in class. |

| Great capture! I love the imagery, but wish that there had been either a little more contrast or not been quite as centered. |

| An artsy photo, I like the B&W. The bird looks so strange and surreal on that bare branch. |

| All I cant say is simplistically beautiful |
|
|
|
03/15/2009 05:42:51 AM |
| That is awesome. The composition is out of this world. The contrast in the background, the post processing. Can't say enough about this. |

stunning image nonetheless |

| I like how the slender tree echoes the slim bird. |

03/13/2009 08:08:09 AM |
| beautiful toning. And the echoes of lines really are wonderful. great work. 9 |

| good light spot on the bird, maybe a bit soft, but that's just personal taste. the bw works very well for this subject - minimalistic, no background clutter. |

| This is a great bird shot because of the wonderful morphing of the tree and the bird. The one becomes the other, with barely a visible junction. Consider the legs of the bird, versus the slim branches lower down; such a lovely echo. It's a wildlife shot for grownups because it's about so much more than the bird. 9. |

| excellent capture, really like your focus and the tone of your shot |

Some sensor dust (directly off tail), I like the composition although some will want it cropped of the right a bit, might be better without such a boringly gray background.
Not voting yet. |

| This image is really gray for me. I sort of which the contrast was a little stronger to really make this image stand out. The composition works. |
