Wow I think you got robbed here. Still a strong finish but I was hoping this would ribbon. There are about 9 rays of light here, but I say who cares?? This is just an amazing shot. Certainly does not deserve 4 1's and 5 2's. Good luck!
About time I explained how LUCKY I was to catch this. I saw the ibis wandering along the edge of the dam, asked my pup to stay...shes never behind me when I get close to the dam, not sure why she was this day.....moved stealthily closer, all the while trying to get my camera focussed on the spot where I expected the bird to fly. I think I took about 6 more steps before it took off, and I managed to shoot two images as it did. This one was the better of the two. When I returned home and looked closer, I discovered that there was a kangaroo and two ducks also at the edge of the dam, hadn't even noticed them when I took the shots. I did, however, see a couple of roos bounding away soon after taking the photos, with my pup in pursuit!
How the heck did you get all those animals in there? You're incredibly lucky I'd say! (Well that fits the challenge, doesn't it?). That's also why I excuse the otherwise weak link to the challenge.
Not so much on meeting the challenge.....I LOVE this photo and I'm trying to make it work in my mind for the challenge...really really reaching here...with that said I still give it a 10! a rabbit, little birds, flying bird, mist and sun rays...what a capture! It looks like a fairy tale....It's a favorite for me!
Wonderful image. Great exposure. Balanced composition. Fairy tale setting. I have counted four animals so far (three to go to get to seven). How did you do this or were you just very, very lucky being at the right place the right time? Great shot. 10 from me.
how the heck did you get a bird, two ducks and a rabbit all in the same photo?! This is amazing!!! Not my favorite for composition (don't care for the tree on the right or the dark patch on the lower left), but a great catch!!!!
This is a beautiful picture and a great capture. Sorry that the seven rays are just not apparent (I counted every which way), but if this were our photo it would have been submitted as well.
I don't see 7 rays, but I do see a lovely photograph. Where did you go to find animals like that??? I think the value of the photograph outweighs the fact that I don't see the 7 rays. :D BOL
This is very pretty, but Im having to try very hard to find 7 rays of light, and the main subject does still appear to be the bird (thats where my eyes are drawn anyway). 6.
