Nice, but you might increase brightness just a touch

Really nice background composition to this. Well done!

Bubbles, b ythe looks of it

They are beautiful but you have blown the highlights on the first bird - see the patch of white that has not detail. As this is the brightest spot in the image, it would be an idea to meter from this area

... ran out of space... LOL.
Try: IMAGE > ADJUSTMENT > LEVELS, then from the user interface box, first use the WHITE POINT SAMPLE (eyedropper) and click it in the middle of the brightest white spot on one of the elder geese. Next select the BLACK POINT SAMPLE (eyedropper), and single click in the darkest part of the black neck. You'll notice a dramatic difference to the entire image in that it will look more like a Black and White photo than a under contrasted greyish one. Apart from that, I like the scene, nice capture.

Nice family outing for these geese and goslings.
The high resolution image seems a bit soft and pixelated. Could this be a result of cropping a much smaller portion of a larger original image? Perhaps your subject filled less than 50 of the frame?
I'd adjust the white balance, as there are no true whites in the scene. It looks like the the contrast was decreased which might explain the gray-scale cast to the image or maybe an auto adjustment which couldn't account for the true white on the heads of the older geese. If you are using Photoshop, try from the Menu: IMAGE > IMAGE ADJUSTMEN

If possible post an image in a SBS to show what the pattern is from.

Nice abstract,
If possilbe post an image in a SBS to show what the pattern is from.

I like the cropping/composition on this one

wonderful in High res

Interesting photo, in an abstract way, but it's hard to see any snow.

Awesome!!!

You poor thing.

I love horses! I wish we could have gotten to see his/her nose in this pic, it would have made it even better, but I love it, great job!

Go for some cropping, author, and maybe you'll end up with a very nice pict.

The blurry leaves at the front spoils the photo.

CoooooooooLL !!

Great shot

Love the texture of the water, it looks like an abstract solid.

The lensflare over dominates the landscape and becomes the focal point instead of the contest subject.

We'll have to take your word for it since it looks nothing at all like a rainbow in black and white...

your angle is unique, but your focus isn't all that good. You focus is on the word liter, and it would be much better if it were on the Pepsi logo

Lovely, just wish you hadn't cropped the babies nose off.

ummmm... Pepsi?

Not a bad idea but I think the image lacks depth. Just a suggesting,but why not try shooting it closer, with more of an angle and see if you cannot focus more on the black park of the record. GL!

I really like this picture but my eye is drawn to the colors more than to the black.

Nicely caught! I like the rainbow sheen that this record has. The only things that bother me a teeny bit (because the more I like a picture, the more critical I get of it XD) are that; one, I think the white background might be a bit nicer if it had no texture at all (it's distracting me from the lovely record lines); and two, perhaps centering the record on the corner of the frame might do something different? It's not even really detracting from the piece at all- I'm just wondering what it would look like. XD

great idea to start the competition~

Star Wars soundtrack?

I think the White Balance might be a bit off - it seems to have a blue tinge to all the white areas

So do I .. but sometime not all of them come back :P lol

love it

Great shot..

very cool shot...and gorgeous eye...is the other the same...LOL...

What a lovely cat and a good shot too!

Nice! You might want to try taking one with a higher Depth of Field next time just to compare, but this one works well. Good luck!

Cute cat... might brighten it just a touch

wonderful

DOF - depth of field ib, see how the left side is defocused? It draws you into the subject that is in focus, in this case the author's portrait, and overall gives more depth to the photo.

Still one of the better entries. GL!

beautiful shot

well done

Whats DOF, good shot

Nice DOF in this shot. GL author!

Nice close-up! GL!

nice shot!

Very nice!

Your eye reflection in high res is awesome!

great shot, and thanks for the explanation.

Nice close-up..

I'm a sucker for cats! GL!
