 A rather sad street of caged birds for sale in Taipei.

JPG straight from camera. I worked with the raw file but IMO this brutal exposure worked well enough.

I can't believe somebody gave it a 10. I appreciate it though.

Great high contrasts shot which unexpectedly suits the subject really well. 9

There's the internal struggle of how appropriate it is to keep birds in cages - and I've been caught up in it with the parakeets I've had, especially the last two who've had trouble flying and basically stayed within all their lives. Beyond this, and it's no small matter, this is, visually, utterly charming. One of two personal favorites of the challenge and I've given it a ten.

Close encounter. And the longest wait for their song îs telling some somber story

IMO parts of this would make a good photo but there is too much extra stuff like the large not quite silhouette at the top.
