Divine Wind is the literal translation of Kamikaze to English from Japanese. This guy certainly looks like a dive bomber, though I doubt much it's his final mission. Taken in Virgin Island National Park, St. John, Caribbean. I used the sports mode to capture action, which resulted in not-so-good colors. Let's just say the sepia conversion was necessary, LOL.

You have a lot of scores that are far better than this but this has got to be right up there with "Her Favorite Dress". It's good to see the old Catherine back,
I can not for the life of me understand the DPC crowd sometimes. This is an amazing image, so much sketch as much as photograph. I think I underrated the image during voting myself. I only gave it an 8
Ah, here it is. :) I still love it, even if I can't vote on it. In fact, it's going in my faves. It seems like a painting or a woodcut to me. The bird's shape and your choice of composition add so much energy to the shot! I also think this is a great example of how putting your subject off-center can be so powerful.
Well, this is my pick. Not often you see someone do something totally new, and this is it. Did you add texture? Is that legal? I hope so, 'coz this is awesome.
I think this is the niftiest shot, Catherine. I love the detail on the bird, but really love the diving stance you captured - amazing timing and focus to get that - I'm in awe! (Comment only, no vote.)
W-O-W! One of the best shots I've seen on here. I've gone through 300 shots in this challenge, and this is by far my favorite... I don't see how this doesn't score top 10.
Is this really photo?! Looking at it again and it's like a shot way back in time, the bird looks almost from the dinosaur era!!! Great post processing in my opinion to get this effect, well done... only minor things I would have changed would be the white blobbies on the water and on the mountain
I like this image. the post production is a bit unusual on dpc where the photographs often are very clean and whit great colours. I like this post production here. great moment captured. 8
