This is a snap shot I took of my daughter. I was taking sunset pictures when I turned around and saw her feeding the birds. They were swarming all around her and her loaf of bread…

I remember looking at this shot during the challenge and thinking something along the lines of 'this should win, but it won't'. Unfortunately it seems I was right.
I really love this shot. The lines of the sand with the wideangle add a great sense of drama to an already action-packed shot. Very underrated in my opinion :)
I like this shot, the choice of black and white and the pattern in the sand and sea are excellent. I would only have taken out the human. I think it distracts from the shot. Great focul point though.
I really like this artistic approach to the challenge. It may suffer the wrath of the narrow minded voters since a human is in the shot. The only thing I would change about this shot would be to frame it with a less centered horizon. Good Job.
My highest score given. This shot to me is excellent. By having the human in the shot you've taken it from being just an ordinary snapshot, to something artistic. Very moving shot. -danny
Well... This photo is 'best of show' for sure, in my humble opinion. The foreground texture of this shot really makes it work well for me. The human element and that interaction with the wildlife adds an extra punch for me as well... great work :)
