omg .. this is totally excellent .. if the competition wasnt so tough in this challenge i reckon this would've done heaps better ... it has a blue ribbon look to me .. just stunning .. :)
edit after posting and taking one last look .. i missed that bird .. I LIKE IT!!
overall too dark and lacking of saturation. the bird at the edge is rather distracting, would have been a nice touch if it were a bit more left. The border takes away from the image
