Birds Among Flowers (in colour)

First of all, huge congratulations to you! This is such a lovely capture and there are two major things I have to praise it for. Firstly, you were able to limit the photo to two colors. To do this with an animal subject is not easy but the effect it has is beautiful. The rich red and yellow along with the overall clarity of the photo is captivating. Secondly, I very much appreciate how everything in this photo is vertical, from the foreground to the background. It was very well done. Keep up the amazing work.

I think this is a great capture of a hummingbird. It is also a beautiful example of what I was looking for in this contest. He is surrounded by flowers and he blends so naturally into the photo. The sharpness is exquisite, just like the rest of the photo. Great job, keep up the good work.

What a jolly looking bird! The setting is adorable. I love how crisp and clear the feathers are on his breast as well as where he sits in the picture. He absolutely looks beautiful, you did a great job capturing the beauty of a pheasant.

What a lovely capture. This is such a simple photo and its simplicity is what really makes it shine. The pastels really give it a baby feel, which is perfect for the subject. The daisies also give off the sense of peace and innocence, making it such an attractive picture. The blur around the top and bottom of the photo really helps the viewers to hone in on the gosling. Very good job.

Now this picture really caught my attention as soon as I saw it. I absolutely love the color palette and how this owl is nestled neatly into the surrounding flowers. He is sharp where the flowers are blurred, giving it a neat effect. I also appreciate the small bit of straw in the picture, so his golden brown color isn't solitary. Well done.

This is such a neat little photo and I am attracted to the lovely simplicity. The "mini roses" especially are adorable and really add their own flare. The graceful green background and simple coloring of the bird give off a sense of ordinary beauty. What a lovely photo, well done.

This is a lovely photo. While I would have liked to see more flowers just for the sake of this particular contest, I find this photo very beautiful. You captured the grace of this animal in flight. And you managed to do so even with any technical challenges you experienced. Well done.

I have to say that the coloring really jumps out and could not be more lovely. The bold vibrance between the plants and the bird is enthralling. I love how he is the clear subject despite the dominance of the pink coloring. Well done, what a beautiful picture.

I think you did a positively marvelous job with the photo. I love the completely green bokeh as well as the sharpness of the bird. You followed the rule of thirds, which definitely suits the picture. While the flowers are dead, I feel like they impact the picture in a uniquely attractive way. Keep up the great work,

The extraordinary green of the bird stands out while the flowers add just as much character. Well done.

What an outstanding photo, I absolutely love it. The owl looks positively adorable in the pool of bluebells. I love how he almost gazes pensively upward.

Amazing job, congratulations.

First of all congratulations to you, this is a spectacular photo. I love not only how you can see all of the striking details of the bird, but also the tiniest details on the flowers. The pink and gold background is a blend of the foreground colors. It creates a sense of harmony that helps make this picture so appealing. Amazing job, what a beautiful capture.

I can't help how cute I think this picture is. The bird is a unique green that still matches the leaves on the branches. It almost looks like he thinks he's a leaf himself. The springtime colors are so beautiful and so is the bokeh. What a lovely picture, very well done.

This is a great hummingbird capture, well done. The bird is suitably crisp and the natural vignette allows the eye to be drawn to him. The flowers are beautifully vibrant but not overwhelming. And not even the bee takes too much attention away from the hummingbird. Altogether this photo is beautiful. Keep up the great work.

The first word that comes to mind is magnificent. This is a spectacular image, I love the dominant white. The owl looks especially majestic and at the same time very peaceful. The gentle blur of the flowers creates a snow-like effect and really gives off a peaceful feel. Congratulations, keep up the great work.

This photo really stole my attention as soon as I saw it. Nearly all of the colors are cool colors and I like seeing the flowers in the background as well as nearer to the bird. The clarity is lovely, well done with the picture.

This photo definitely caught my immediate attention, it is stunning. The bird looks so sleek and that dash of yellow really adds to the picture. With the purple in there, it is perfect. Even the stark white background outlines the bird beautifully. What a magnificent capture, well done.

You did a great job with this photo, it is so crisp and the colors are neat. I love the bunches of pale pink flowers, especially when they are set against the bold blue of the sky. The bird doesn't stand out too much, but his unique color allows for the eye to be naturally drawn to him. Keep up the great work.

This is a very nice picture, I like how crisp it is and how perfectly the bird is positioned. Though the colors are conflicting, this image is very pleasant. The bird has a sense of personality and the background really shows him off. Good job.

This cardinal definitely stands out in the photo. I love how his vibrant red stands so strongly against the white in the rest of the picture. I also like how this cardinal is surrounded by white flowers in the spring instead of the snow in the winter. It is a more unique red and white scheme with a cardinal. Well done.

First off, the bird and his expression cooperate beautifully with the rest of the photo. This owl seems like he's just taking it easy. As for the photo itself, the color of the eyes really tie the owl in to the rest of the picture. It is very engaging. The rich red poppies don't block or take away him and the rule of thirds is well applied.

This image is very appealing, well done. The image is sharp and the green of the bird meshes very naturally with the pink. I love the different depths and elegant bokeh that sets off the green of the bird. Very well done.

I think this is absolutely stunning, from the sharp green to the contrasting orange. You did a great job in capturing this photo. There is just enough blur to naturally frame the photo and allow for the bird to be the core of the picture. It is so unique and equally captivating. Very good job.

When I look at this photo I can't help but enjoy it. The colors really project well, and that slightest blue around the bird's eye ties in charmingly with the background. Altogether it looks very nice. Keep up the good work.

This is a lovely photo, from the position of the bird to the petals on the flowers. I love how about half of the photo is fairly clear and the other half is similarly colored bokeh. The simplicity of the bunting gives the picture a sense of ordinary beauty. I love how when you look at it you can almost hear the bird singing. Very beautiful capture.

This photo is truly a work of art, good job. The owl is in such a captivating position, and the clarity is magnificent. I like the use of vignette in this picture, it is well done. I can see the amount of effort that went into taking this photo. Keep up the great work.

This is such a charming photo, I love how the bird is perched. I also appreciate how the furthest flower from him gives off a gentle sense of symmetry. It is of similar height but still doesn't take away from the bird. I also love how simple the setting is, the components put together a very pleasing picture. Well done.

What a pretty portrait of a puffin, well done. He looks beautiful settled in to the flowers like that and I love how they frame him. The simple white allows for his facial colors to shine. You did a great job taking this photo and finding just the right setting for it. Good job.

I am very fond of this picture and how the size and weight of the bird can be determined by the tulip he's perched on. The vibrant and dominant red color stands out brilliantly. I think this picture looks very nice and even cropped it would have looked lovely I'm sure. Overall, it is beautiful. Keep up the good work.
