Many Many Congrats!! Simply outstanding.. A moment of triumph w many more coming.. Impeccable!! You are one of my favs not only related to your expertise in photography but related to your redeeming qualities of kindness, caring, and compassion..

Apart from being an absolutely superb shot technically it fits the challenge imaginatively (and even humurously) - not just 'qualifying' on account that there's a wing in the picture somewhere the bird is looking at its wing and inspecting it. The wing IS the subject. A deserved first place indeed, and one amongst a very high standard of entries too.

YOU ROCK, my favorite photographer....you just rock!

wow what a pose- looks so curious about happening at the back!! nice colors and great sharp capture 8
Post actions
Great title! It really compliments the action for it really does look like the bird is bowing to his/her audience:-) The white tones of the bird really pop visually from it's dark background. The viewer's eye is instantingly drawn to the bird and we can see all the lovely details from the folds and texture of it's wing to the downy fluff one can see on some parts of it's body. Great capture - 9
