 I took this in my backyard. I was walking in "the back 40" and this guy flew over-head. He was really low and I was surprised just how big he was. I snapped this and thought I would go ahead and submit it for this challenge. I love getting creative criticism and I need it!

I didn't do a whole lot of post work on it. I cropped and adjusted the saturation and contrast a tad.

This would work well if the crop was much closer to the bird, and the light spilled correctly around it. As of now, it just seems like to many normal bird shots.

This is a little dull and just looks like a snapshot.

I think this picture could use a little of enhancing, but good otherwise.

Very nice minimal shot. Unfortunately I see Jpeg artifacts all over the place.
