Shot in RAW, I basically adj exposure, brightness, contrast, color temp and tint, then after conversion adjusted b&c some more, hue and sat, and sharpness.

Oh My God: I can't believe I actually got a ribbon finally after all these years. I was not going to enter the challenge, but thought I would take a chance. As I went to bed last night and saw the score, thought well it is good but not winner material. Then when I looked at my e-mail first this morning, I got a request for proof from dp. I could not believe I had actually placed in the top 3. Thanks to all who have not lost faith in me. I am ecstatic. Now that I hardly go out to take pictures at all, I get a ribbon. Well, will wonders never cease.
Wow, I like this a lot. The sign just makes it, and the bird is very crisp. Might have cropped it a bit close, but its still a really great capture regardless.

Comments: Nice capture...both you and the bird. Would be really funny if the arrow was pointing up. Great color, detail and DOF. Good luck.
I think the arrow is pointing in the wrong direction. Shouldn't it be pointing up?!?!?!?! Nice focus but for some reason, the black background is making it look like, but of course it's not, a 'cut and paste' job. Why is it that humor in taking a risk is funnier then humor in safety to me?
I don't know how this image will score with respect to the theme. But the image in itself is excellent. Such a story that it conveys! Congrats on this capture!
