===== From cly@u.arizona.edu: First off, I don't think the sun is realistic. Secondly, I think the background should be clouds. I do suggest a smaller sun. I think you want to the audience to focus on the birds -- their freedom. I look at this image, and I see the sun. You might want to be more detail-oriented with the birds, I like to see what it looks like close-up. ===== From pokorny@attglobal.net: Of the images you entered I liked this one the best. Very beautiful and I gave it high artistic marks. It looks like there is something odd going on around the edge of the sun.
