I love the deep contrasts here. I think turning the photo blue was a good choice - it's a cold color, and reinforces the fact that it's winter; as seen by the snow on the branch. The only thing I don't really like is the grain. Otherwise; lovely shot!
First let me thank you for YOUR critique of my image, a couple of challenges ago.
This is a lovely little shot. There is nice detail and it is well composed.
I would wish for a bit more detail on the eye though, is this a product of the post processing? That is the only thing I see that is detrimental. If we could see it better I feel this shot would have done much better.
your little chickadee is cute, but i'm not seeing how the point of view makes this any more interesting. the background looks a bit grainy, and the dark bottom left corner is a bit of a distraction to the bird. I like the blue tint over the image. There is the strong impression of coldness in this shot, and that is good. I like strong impressions. Focus and clarity are good...just not really seeing an interesting point of view. not the kind I have pictured in my own head anyway. still a nice image though. ~Heather~
much as I've tried to see it, I don't feel that this is a unique or interesting point of view. It's a nice photo of a bird, though awfully blue and grainy. Sorry, doesn't do it for me. 3.
A classic bird shot - the white balance seems off (the white is too blue), but tha'ts just it... it's a bit too "classic." The POV doesn't seem to add to the picture.
Very convincing winter color tones, The blues and whites bring through the feeling of coldness. The graininess helps a little but I think there is slightly too much in your image. I wish I could see the eye, or at least a glint or something to tell me there is actually an eye there instead of a empty black area. As for the point of view aspect, well there isn't anything unusual or different in the perspective you have chosen. (7)
