Stared at this pic on and off for a few days now and have yet to see an animal in this shot. I have concluded that you must be going for the brown ribbon. I suppose it's possible that your art is just way above my feeble mind. . . . NAH, You're going for the brown! I'm just sorry I can't help you out more by giving you lower than a 1.
I think I am meant to be looking at two birds in the very top left of the picture. They are very out of focus, and lost in the picture. The log in the foreground is the subject with the current cropping of the picture.
Its wild and its life and its in its natural environment.. ;) might have tried to get in closer to the new shoot.. although I love the texture of the log
What am I looking at? I don't see any wildlife here. Plants aren't what come to mind when I think of wildlife (I would say plantlife, rather). At any rate, the challenge specified mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. In terms of the overall quality of the photo it is a nice effort but could stand improvement. There really isn't a strong focal point. By the title I understand it is meant to contrast the rotting log with the sprigs of grass growing on it. Without the title to clue me in, the tiny grass just doesn't make a strong enough contrast to the log to make a strong visual statement. There is too much surrounding detail to distract, even from the log. What is needed for this type of image is a macro shot (or at least as close as your camera will allow) of one of the tiny blades of grass that includes enough detail about the log to give the idea but no so much that the grass becomes lost in its surroundings.
I have no idea what this is. I can't even see an animal in the photo as listed in specific guidelines for this challenge. Needless to say, this is a DNMC for those reasons, and my score reflects that.
