 My first submission. Saw the old broken birdhouse in the tree in the backyard while procrastinating with doing taxes.
Its a new camera, and I'm still playing around with all the features (fun!). Better finish doing the taxes now... looking forward to the rebate to pay for the camera!!!!

Wow. This one really holds my attention. I came back to it four times. The composition is very attractive, and the contrast is nice.

Interesting take on the challenge. I think shooting from a lower angle might emphasize the front of the birdhouse a little more.

I like this pic it made me laugh because I would have never thought of a bird house.

NIce! Would love to have seen a little more contrast or even in color. Birdhouse needs a little seperation from the tree, in my mind. Great idea, though.
