absolutely STUNNING! This is so powerful... and tragic. The sepia tone was a perfect choise I think, because it is usally associated with "oldness" and thus "death." The simplicity of your composition also is perfect; it grabs the viewer's attention. EXCELLENT shot!!!
haha, that's terrible, but my mind just reeled to "To Kill a Mockingbird." The cover of my book had a picture in a similar, grainy sepia (of radically different subject, but still...)
Man there are some morbid shots in this challenge amongst all the silly ones. Well...quite morbid and a bit unsettling, but quite well shot none the less.
eew. is that bird really dead? wow. i think cropping out some more of the left might be a good idea. emphasis the verticality of the subject. also, a bit dark. lose the detail in the bird.
This is one of the best photos I've seen on DPC. I like the "classic" look of it, and the harmonious composition. Shots like this is why I became interested in photography in the first place.

Oh - the tragedy! This just goes to show that there is a lot of humour in death sometimes! ;) Poor little fella, but at least his death wasn't in vain - he's going to win a ribbon on DPChallenge. [10]
