I love the story this image tells. The soft blue green water and surface vegetation are pleasing. The tack sharp subject with the grass and the soft background birds lend depth. The composition is great. The diagonals formed by the birds intersect horizontal lines formed by the water and shadows. I especially love the wing dipping in the water and the dancing water drops and leaves. |

What a remarkable composition. The clarity, warm colors and gariff are wonderful. I would not worry about the second animals eye. I would crop out the third gariff as it not needed. |

This image really caught my eyes. Its sharpness and clarity gives the illusion of a pointalist painting. The foreground hills form a diagonal that separates the background. The image has a two tone appearance: the background has a blue cast, the foreground is chiefly white. The image has much more clarity than the original. I think it image would look beautiful printed on metal that would intensify the cold winter affect, or on canvas where the peaceful affect would emerge. |

This is a magical image--both versions. I was immediately enchanted by the creatures. They are reminiscent of the walking trees in Tolkien's Ring series. I love the chiseled look of the foreground snow. The B&W version is more mysterious. Both versions are wonderful. I would not change anything. |

Amazing image! The behavioral story alone is incredible. What a fascinating courtship. Technically the image is perfect. Tack sharp subject (those feather spikes are grand) and great background bokeh. The composition is wonderful. The leg and lower neck form a diagonal that curves up through the two heads. The necks/heads/beaks form an abstract heart that highlights the theme. I would not change a thing in this beautiful and amazing image. |

Wonderful image!!! The protruding posts in the foreground (what are they called, an old boardwalk or pier?) look just like tombstones as you intended. And the muted skyline in the background gives the illusion of a city graveyard at midnight. The creatures emerging from the graves are fascinating, and seem to have thick veins as seen in hearts. Your image is a feast for a pareidoliaque. AND your setup is a treat for experimenters. |

Amazing transformation. Eye-catching colors and shapes. I might try a bit less processing. While the brilliant colors pop, I also like the muted shades of the original. In this version your crop focused on the left side of the image. The right side is also very interesting. You might try cropping just the top less patterned section. What area of the original represents the reflection of the boat? |

Wonderful still life. I love these Rembrandt tulips. They are an engineered version that simulates the virus-induced "broken tulips" of the Golden Age of Dutch Painting. Your rendering is very pleasing. The composition is great. The lone bud breaks the symmetry of the bouquet, and the leaf s add additional interest. The crate serves as a perfect background. Well done. |

I love the composition, and the colors. The diagonal line highlighted by the pointing beaks is great. The upward flip of feathers on top bird wing adds interest. I also like the minimalist high key effects. The lower right to upper left direction of flight causes my eyes to pause and observe. I agree with Karl that the birds looked traced. I also think they look a bit over processed. Backing off a bit and feathering the edges could produce a more natural appearance. |

This is a great shot!! The duck's colors are spectacular. The image is also tack sharp. The patterns in the water are very pleasing. To selectively reduce the water highlights I would try the following: in lightroom classic or photoshop mask the subject. In this wonderful minimalist image the program will easily find the subject. Then I would invert the mask to confine the adjustments to the water, and experiment with reducing various settings e.g. highlights. |
