One of my top scores. I think the perspective is everything in this one, but the quality of the capture and precisely calibrated processing are what make the force of this image so irresistibly compelling. This feels like a true piece of fine art.

Wow!!! This will be one of two of my top forever favorites on DP ever. Such an amazing capture, the Bleu Heron even though it is statuesque it is still always eager to be out of the way of anyone viewing it. Amazing photography and your choice of B/W just adds to the perfection of your image. Magnificent Capture 10 Congratulations!

Way to go Wendy, I wasn’t thinking you took this, I’m glad you did something different.

Art has attitude. It turns away from you. It doesn't care about you. The viewer is an explorer and the jungle is art. The viewer decides whether to go hunting, to venture further in.

From behind at its best. A peculiar but wonderful image.

Edit is spot on. Top three.
