Whoa! You need to work harder -- I got two 2s, a 3 and a 4!

I'd like o see this blown up even farther and cropped in a bit, simply because I think the wet silhouette of the missing leaves on the lower outside are tremendous!

Birds on a Wire

Seriously!? Of course, the first thing I think about in any challenge is "birds" (well, maybe squirrels or cats...), but I never think of birds as ordinary!

Yet...

It's such a great, boring, ordinary fence, and birds sitting on it is so ordinary, yet it's such a great combination. Wonderfully seen and captured!

A Perfect Morning

Ok -- feeling mixed about this one, too. Love the colors and the processing, but the centering of the trees just feels wrong. Plus the hills in the background and that splash of pinks is marvelous. I'm wondering if it would have been better keeping things on the bottom 1/3 horizaontally, but placing the tree grouping on the lower left third instead of centered.

Survival in a Harsh Environment

Nice. Small thing -- I wish there were more contrast, especially with your title. It's really quite peaceful as it is now, and doesn't speak harsh at all to me.
