I just made adjustments in ACR and played with the sliders in edit, then in HSL: desaturated blue; slightly increased saturation of red and slightly decreased exposure of yellow, blue and red. All to look. |

Your question pushed one of my hot buttons. Did you make the image as your expression, or to please a judge who may have different taste. As an example: When I first joined my CC the judge scored it 4.5 and in essence called it a POS. I liked it. A few years later I was a salon worker. That very same image was runner up for print of the year. As another part of my answer, I took the liberty of playing and did your image in my personal style. Having said that, consider removing the halo from the back of the top right birds. As a more direct answer, If you will not lose your house if your image doesn't do well, go for it.

Beautiful and creative image. I partially agree with Fran's comment, to me it looks like three separate images on a wall. Consider putting a frame around the image to bind them into one or, adding directionally uniform drop shadows to each object. |

You have used an ordinary image as the starting point for a creative image with a mysterious look.
BTW: The style of the house reminds me of Savanah, GA. |

Wow! A very creative image with a lot of impact. The top and bottom birds flying towards each other are in symmetry with the orb; the tonal variations keep the image interesting; and the lightning bolts harmonically add impact. Well, done. |

Nice result. Your work in post gave impact to a beautiful image. I wish there was no halo around the model. To my eyes it makes her look pasted in. Perhaps a mild blur around her would help. |

Thanks, for the suggestion. Since both horses are about the same color, I'll probably change the color of the horse. |

Thank you, I am more eager than before to try to get there. I went on an interesting trip not to far from there. We sort of followed the Northeast portion of the trip taken by John Steinbeck, as described in his book: Travels with Charley. We even took our dog. (Charley was Steinbeck's poodle.) |

Lauren, Great job on a difficult capture I mostly agree with the above comments but, think cropping would show more intimacy with the owl. I took the liberty of showing my suggestions in a reworked image. If you plan to enter the image in a local CC competition, then consider Karl's suggestion about a horizontal flip. |

Karl, this image has great impact. Centering the model adds to the illusion that she is taking a chilling delve into the occult. The lighting change that Gerrard suggested could very well lesson the chill factor. The lack of a border gives a feeling of infinity, which adds to the mysticism. Very well done.
I have never heard of Bread and Puppets, but after looking it up, I can see spending a few days there. As I can no longer drive for an extended time, I will try to a practical alternative way. |

Freddie, Karl has a valid point. You might want to consider an abstract of some koi to add a focal point. |

Thanks for your comment. As a statement on what is happening, as opposed to what I would prefer, the bw is chasing the color. |

Hi Karl, your comment is quite perceptive. The monochrome is chasing the color. I used birds because I recently saw a story about Tippi Hedren. |

I listed most on a copy of the image, with Shakey red lines pointing to the area. Note some areas have duplicate names. This will give you a tough idea.
cow
roller skater
dog-mutt
daschound
stream with rocks
sea horses
bird or insect
monster
snail
manta ray
deer.

A minimalistic gem. To me the green background adds a lot of impact. Well done. |

Intriguing and well a executed abstract. Although I can see many interpretations of what the components represent, they harmonize to make an intriguing image. |
