I love the misty atmosphere of this shot, and the bright red against the gray. It is quite dreamlike. It's a nice capture of the cedar waxwing as well.
I suspect this didn't score well for not meeting the challenge, but it's a gorgeous photograph in my opinion. I love the softness, the blur, and the red against the gray; and the grain serves this well. Very lovely shot!
Eventhough this is slightly out of focus and you didn't completely stop the motion, I really like this shot. It has a certain ethereal or mystical feel to it.
I really like this. The way that you captured this shot really has a cool effect. It's like something you would catch out of the corner of your eye. Nice job.
