I like B&W to be pretty contrasty, so I modified your B&W to have brighter whites and deeper blacks. |

I particularly like the way the clouds came out in your version. In my version I had to struggle to make the birch bark white and not at the same time make the sky that is behind the birch branches look unnatural. Since I like some pure black and pure white in my B&@, I took your version and applied a luminosity curve to produce the image below. I think I like it better than my original. |

I like the lovely colors of the bird and that it is facing the camera. I think I would like this more if something could be done about the blurred mudbank cross the top quarter of the image. Cropping a bit from both sides and more from the top seemed to work for me. |

What an inventive composite! The clouds increase my appreciation of the image. The sunspots and the diamond ring are icing on the cake. Just wonderful. |

I like the way the photograph brings out the interesting architecture. The slight asymmetry, because it was not shot from the central axis, increases my interest and makes me ponder the image for a longer time. To me, the ceiling is unnaturally bright. |

To me, the colors, including the foot, are just fine. This shows amazing detail for such a large magnification. Was it an image stabilized Canon lens? |

This really came out well. I like the way you handled the background and the sharpening.
There is a technical detail that you might want to consider. The pixels on the very border between the flowers on the top and the background are unnatural. If there actually had been a black-grey background, then some of the pixels right on the border would be a mixture of black-grey and the pink or red or brown. (Caused by the actual border crossing within the pixel so it receives both background color and flower color.) A way to address this is to make a mask consisting of a line along the border, covering a couple pixels of the background and a couple pixels of the flowers and then slightly blurring just under the mask. |
