The feather on the stump adds a nice touch :) It offers a nice bit of contrast and brightness to the somewhat 'cold' image of the old wood. I think you did an excellent job of composing this shot... good work :) = 7 - jmsetzler
An absolutely stunning texture!!! The dry, almost petrified looking wood really contrasts with the delicate feather. Focus is sharp except for the very top edge of the frame, and the exposure is right on. *8* -balynch
I love this shot, it is one of my top 3 for this challenge. I personally do not like the feather. I have a bird, so most feathers in my office are un-welcome.
I really like the way the deep lines work in the layout of the photo. The lighting is strong, but not overpowering, but the feather was a stroke of genius. I assume you placed it? It's texture is such a contrast, the juxtaposition so sublime. Truly a marvelous shot. 10 crisa58

For those that are just learning, like me.
Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.
Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.
Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.
Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.
There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.
i like this photo, but i wish it had been submitted in B&W. it would have made a stronger image, i think. ~mcmurma Aesthetics...7 Meets Challenge...8 Overall....8
