The zone plate takes on suburbia? I like this a lot. But I like rectangles.

The filter applied doesn't help the photograph.

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: You stopped and made me look, made me think with this one. As far as I can see this is all about the edit and what an interesting edit it is. Sharpness and blurdom all at once.

Critical stuff: i'm not too convinced by the underpinning image - without the interesting edit I'm not so sure there is too much here to look at.

Overall: although the edit has interest, I'm not sure the image matches it.

Even though you probably were as careful as you could and you most likely released the birdy, this is not my idea of how to photograph animals. On a technical note, the motion blur on the wings is okay, the motion blur on the head ruins the picture imo

Ouch, that's a firm grip on the bird.

Interesting photo for the challenge. I hope you didn't get bitten. You have nice focus on the right spot, I just wish the shutter was a bit faster so we could really see the animal's face.

And no birds were harmed in the making of this image... Poor tiny thing!
